About

Not Just a Book. It’s a Movement Toward Redemption, Renewal, and Wholeness.

The Weight of the Ring was born out of my own journey—untangling the messages I was taught about purity, healing from the weight of shame and silence, and learning to follow Jesus without the fear of failure defining my worth.

Before becoming an author, I was a Marriage & Family Counselor with certifications in life coaching, health and wellness coaching, and brain health. I’ve spent years walking with individuals and families through heartbreak, healing, and restoration—and those conversations deeply inform how I write, speak, and serve today.

I’ve been in ministry most of my life—both in leadership and as a layperson—serving as a youth director, children’s ministries director, and junior high girls Sunday School teacher. I’m passionate about raising up the next generation with grace and truth—not shame and fear.

Today, I’m a Christian fiction|Contemporary Romance author, podcast host, and the creator of The Weight of the Ring, a platform designed to help others untangle cultural baggage from gospel truth.

I’m married to my childhood best friend, Rob—we met in 1997 and we’ve been walking through life together since 2004—and we have one teenage daughter, Hayes, who reminds me every day why this work matters.

We’re part of Evangel Church (PCA), where we continue to grow in faith, community, and the sometimes messy, beautiful work of walking with Jesus.

This space is for you—if you’re healing, questioning, parenting, leading, or simply longing for something deeper than performance.
You’re not alone. And you’re not too late to begin again.
