Let's Stay Connected
"I'd love to stay connected. Whether through counseling, speaking, or devotional writing, my desire is to encourage others to trust God through every season of life."
WHY I WRITE
"Life's greatest challenges are often not the mountains before us, but the battles within us."
Through years of counseling, nursing, ministry, and hiking mountain trails across the United States and abroad, I've discovered that life's greatest challenges are often not the mountains before us, but the battles within us.
​
My writing grew out of a desire to encourage others to trust God through fear, uncertainty, exhaustion, grief, and spiritual struggle. Whether on a wilderness trail or in everyday life, God continually reminds us that He is faithful in every step of the journey.
​
​Through devotionals, personal stories, and biblical encouragement, my prayer is to help readers find hope, strength, and deeper faith as they learn to walk closely with Him.
THE BOOK
What if the mountain you're facing isn't the real challenge?
A 60-year-old, overweight, non-hiker, and cancer survivor never imagined that one decision during the COVID shutdown would lead from a one-mile walk in a city park to the Grand Canyon, Alaska, the Alps, and beyond.
Yet the greatest mountains conquered along the way were not found on a trail. They were fear, anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, and learning to trust God one step at a time.
​
Conquering the Mountain Within is about far more than hiking. Each trail became a classroom where God revealed deeper truths about perseverance, faith, and the internal mountains that often keep us from living fully and trusting Him completely.
​
Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, moments of failure, and unexpected victories, you'll walk alongside our team as we take first steps, stumble, persevere, and discover God's faithfulness on trails stretching from the Grand Canyon to the Alps. Along the way, you'll learn how to empty your backpack of burdens from the past, stand firm in spiritual battles, and trust the Guide who sees every step ahead.
​
Whether your mountain is fear, loss, uncertainty, health struggles, exhaustion, or a seemingly impossible dream, this book offers encouragement to take the next step and discover that life's mountains can become opportunities for growth.
​
The greatest adventure is not reaching a summit. It is becoming the person God is shaping you to be along the way.
​
Join the adventure. The trail awaits, the mountains have a purpose, and your Guide is faithful.
