Hey! Welcome! I am the founder and Executive Director of Help[H]er, a nonprofit ministry committed to produce rich resources, offer comprehensive training, and provide specialized care for
women in crisis in Christian organizations.
As a Help[H]er® Advocate, I work to ensure that
women receive compassionate, informed, and scripturally sound care.
I have a Doctor of Ministry with a counseling emphasis and I am trained in domestic abuse (CTPM) and trauma care (GTRI). I am an an author and teacher, and I served as an expert advisor to the PCA Domestic Abuse & Sexual Assault (DASA) Ad Interim Study Committee.
In my role as Executive Director at Help[H]er, I lead the way in developing resources and training programs that equip the church to respond wisely and redemptively to women in crisis.
My husband Bob and I have been married for 43 years. Together, we cherish our roles as parents to three adult children and their wonderful spouses, and Gigi and Papa to thirteen precious grandchildren.
