Jordan and I have been married for nine years. He is a great man of God and I am thankful for him. We have two sweet boys and another on the way. Eli is seven. He is a sweet, caring, sensitive, and smart child. David Grey is five. He is our heart warrior, smart, funny, and strong. God has used David Grey in many ways to grow my faith. Our third boy will make his debut in August. I grew up in Brantley county most of my life, and have spent the last ten or eleven years in Waycross. I don't have much time for hobbies, but running is one thing I enjoy doing when I am able and try to make time for. Mostly I enjoy spending time with my family, I enjoy hiking in the mountains, bike riding at the beach, and spending time outdoors. I have been a member of Emmanual Baptist Church since 2003, and I am very grateful for my church family and the ministry of EBC.

My interest in counseling first began when I was a babysitter for a young boy with ADHD. He had gone through a couple of babysitters, and when I was presented the job I was told how difficult he could be. I decided to give the job and him a try.  After learning some simple behavioral techniques from my mom, who was a teacher at the time, in how to deal with some of his behaviors, I  began to work with him. I do not claim to have been counseling him, but did realize how those techniques greatly impacted his life for the better and created a great relationship between us. I decided to pursue a degree in counseling. I began my career in secular counseling. It was very rewarding in many ways, and I loved working with the people I worked with. As time went on though, I realized there was a component of most people's lives that was missing and could not be "fixed" with counseling outside of God's Word. Clay had approached me early in my career, and honestly I avoided out of fear of not being "holy enough". Through life circumstances I truly believe God brought me to a place in my life where I realize Cord of Three is where He wanted me to serve Him and minister to others. ​

 I enjoy working with women and kids. The areas I specialize in is depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Working with others is a privilege and a ministry given to me by God, and I am thankful to be a part of my client's lives. I am also thankful to God for Him using me for His glory. ​
