I love to listen!
I always have, but I didn’t realize that it was God preparing me for the work I’d be doing.
It seems that everyone feels comfortable sharing personal issues with me – not just my friends.
I’ve always enjoyed helping them find a better way – making them feel seen as the human they are apart from what they’re going through.
I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner (NP) because I wanted to engage fully in my patients’ treatment journeys from start to finish. I didn’t like just popping in for brief visits.
During my time as an NP, I battled depression. I went to therapy and found it beneficial, but it was always lacking something. As I deepened my relationship with God, I realized the importance of incorporating faith into one’s healing journey.
I love learning more about God and strengthening that walk. Outside of my own time with Him, I help lead a weekly Bible study and have served as a table coach in my church’s women’s Bible study classes. Helping others understand who God is and canceling out the lies of the enemy is a BIG WIN.
I am also passionate about photography. I’m generally the one called to do maternity photoshoots, newborn/child birthday photos, or various special events for my friends. I also do photography for my church.
Any other free time is spent at home relaxing with loved ones or traveling. Time with good people anywhere is always a good time.
