My Story
I was reared by a public school teacher and a pastor.
I like to tell people I had no chance of ever being emotionally illiterate.
Honestly, I believe that God places us in the families we are born in because He uses our life stories to weave together one tapestry called the Kingdom of God. He interweaves our stories together with His redemptive power. He makes beauty from our ashes. I believe we all have a story to tell that will touch others. I believe I can help others learn to tell their own story.
God has used my life story and my training to equip me to touch the lives of families, children, and the lost.
I have worked with residents of a domestic violence shelter, squirmy children on a school bus, and adorable infants and toddlers at a daycare.
Today my clients are families in the inner city of Indianapolis, Indiana. The families are "at risk for child abuse and neglect." God allows me to come along side of them and walk with them for a short time during their journey. I am allowed to enter their homes and talk to them about discipline, self-worth, money, healthy relationships, and development. I can do all of this...empathize with them because of the trials I have faced in my life's journey, my experience as a single mother, and my love for them as children of God.
I also enjoy working with a team of qualified professionals. We learn from each other, strengthen our resolve, and remind each other of our lives outside of our work. I also have the privilege of Reflective Supervision for 2 hours every week with my onsite supervisor and for 2 hours every other month with a Clinical Supervisor. This supervision provides parallel processing, professional growth, and accountability to my personal life goals.
My prayer is to continue growing in my walk with God and in my care for others. My passion is to teach the people I serve to use their story to reach others.
