I never tell people what they should or shouldn’t do. That’s not my job. (Nor is it the job of anyone else in your life.) Instead, I empower Christian women to be the amazing adults God made them to be and make their own decisions for their own lives.
I hold space for Christian women to learn, grow, and discover their wings in their own time. There is never any pressure to be anywhere other than where you are today.
Let’s set aside fear and shame and manipulation and drop into love and acceptance and freedom. This is a safe space where you can explore your options and possibilities.
There are risks, responsibilities, and rewards whether you stay or leave. I will show you what all of that looks like, and then I will help you get clear and strong in your identity so you can make the right decision (at the right time) for you.

Emotional abuse is a covert, dehumanizing, psychological and spiritual re-framing of reality that causes deep damage to the core of a person. Survivors of emotional abuse often struggle with depression, complex-post-traumatic-stress-disorder, muscular pain, vascular problems, brain fog, sleep disorders, and more. As long as you continue to live in the poisonous atmosphere of covert emotional abuse, you may wrestle with the ability to breathe the clean air of Truth and find the freedom and joy of living as the person God created you to be. Here are seven steps to getting out of your emotionally abusive marriage so you can find hope and healing.
I have personal experience walking through this process of healing, and looking back, I think it’s much like going from a caterpillar to a butterfly. So let’s take that analogy and look at each part of this process briefly, and you decide which phase you think you might be in. Please keep in mind that these phases may overlap a little or a lot depending on different factors.
