As a Sexual Trauma Restorative Counselor, she helps survivors of sexual assault, and domestic violence, and those suffering from various forms of trauma reclaim their lives by providing a pathway to emotional healing and restoration through spiritual counseling. 


Her Ministry

Grounded in Christ, with a spirit of advocacy, resulting from her own abuse, she founded Unspoken Courage, a counseling and coaching ministry for survivors. Whether it is through life coaching, counseling, or advocacy, her goal is to be a voice for those silenced by the harsh realities of life. To further this important work, she founded Breaking Free to Be Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education and training aimed at decreasing and preventing sexual assault and domestic violence, specifically in African American and faith-based communities. You can learn more about this organization here:  Breaking Free to Be – Building Connections to Bridge the Gaps

She serves as the Political Action Chair for Springfield Ohio’s NAACP, and a member of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW). She teaches Victimology at both Clark State College and Liberty University, as well as teaches various graduate-level public policy courses online while chairing dissertation committees. 

 

Her Love & Foundation

Aside from her dedication and devotion to GOD, her most cherished role is wife and helpmate to her loving husband Wayne, who she feels GOD created especially for her. 

 "Do not consider me your last hope. Instead, I am your FIRST STEP towards healing. Through Jesus Christ all things are possible, and with His guidance, she will help those silenced, find their voice. " Dr. Mecca

My Promise

With God's grace, I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. 

My Focus

 My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strength. I achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a plan just for you.  

Written on My Heart

It is time to claim your life back! Be silenced no more. 

Let me help you find your voice!

Spiritual Counseling, Coaching and Emotional Restoration

Christian Life Coaching

This is a client-centered relationship between you and a supportive spiritual life coach. This one-on-one collaborative, confidential relationship in which the client is guided to make better decisions, look at alternative choices, while identifying challenges and barriers. The goal is to enable the client to reach beyond their feelings or limitations, and focus better to achieve optimal goals. Spiritual Life Coaching inspires the client to seek the Lord's will in their lives and align their lives with God's plan. 

Sexual Assault Trauma Counseling

Many individuals can experience trauma associated with sexual assault long after it happens. Anxiety, fear, intimacy issues, and shame are just a few emotions one may experience. One-on-one sessions will provide the emotional support client needs to systematically break down barriers, reclaim and restore theirs lives in order to break free from all that is holding them back from truly living their lives.  

 

Relationship and Family Counseling

Relationship building can be beneficial to couples, and families who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Sessions are held in a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship with each other while strengthening your relationship with God.

Intimate Partner Violence Counseling

Leaving an abusive relationship may be one of the bravest things you have ever done. And I thank GOD you found the courage and the strength to leave. You are no longer a victim! You are a survivor! Things may be scary, and you may not know what to do next. Know that you have your entire life in front of you. You are not alone. We can help! Through prayer and counseling, GOD will see you through.  

Pre-Marital Counseling

 Through Christian premarital counseling you will explore each others' faith, personal convictions, expectations for your future, and the responsibilities you will have as a married couple. More than anything, premarital counseling aims to produce a marriage that is biblical and God-honoring. 

Grief Counseling

When it comes to grief, there is no expiration date. Nor does it look the same for everyone. Through grief counseling, you will develop healthy ways to navigate the various steps of grief, in a safe and supportive relationship with a counselor and/or group. Grief is not about forgetting, it is about moving forward and learning to live differently. 

Christian Counseling

Client will be guided toward emotional healing and spiritual growth through self-discovery. It is not what you can change about yourself but allowing GOD to change you. You will understand through counseling, the focus is not on what you do, but learning why you do it, and make changes based on this knowledge. 

Trauma Healing Groups: The THI Method

How Can The Wounds of the Heart Be Healed?

This group meets for six sessions, as we use a holistic bible-based approach to healing! 

“The Lord is near to those who are discouraged; he saves those who have lost all hope.” Psalm 34:18 (GNT)

If you are interested in learning what GOD has to say about... Hopelessness, Wounds of the heart, Grieving, Healing, Forgiveness, freedom and more, this groups is for you. 

Rape and other forms of Sexual Assault

Survivors of Rape and Sexual Assault can spend the rest of their lives trying to put the fragments of their lives together. Is it easy, No! Is it possible, YES! 

Talking about the abuse and finding healthy ways in which to cope is an important step in the right direction. Our trauma group offers just that. It is biblically based, so you will learn how to seek GOD during this trying time in your life.  

Helping Children Who Have Been Traumatized

Children experience trauma too. Sadly, more often than we like to admit. We will explore ways to identify problem behaviors resulting from trauma, ways to respond to children that encourages them to express their pain, and how we can respond in accordance with the bible. 

This groups is not for children. It is for adults who want to help children who experienced trauma.

Domestic Abuse

All families have conflicts, but when there is a pattern of control and manipulation, it is domestic abuse. God calls us to treat family members with respect and kindness, and unfortunately, this is not always the case in our homes. Our trauma group will discuss what the bible says about domestic abuse, and how to help people trapped in abusive situations.

Breaking Free to Be Me!

Six-Month Coaching Program

I have been afforded the opportunity to work with women in a variety of my social circles.  At least one woman shares with me they have been assaulted at some point in their lives, but never told anyone. They have learned to "deal" with it.   


My experiences have taught me that women who “deal” with it are those who may experience intimacy issues, trust issues, or suffer from anxiety, and maybe depression.  


You do not have to deal with it!  You want to live your life freely. You want to be free from all that is holding you back from truly living in your purpose. You deserve it, and I can help you through my six-months coaching program. 


This is a program designed to help you find ways to navigate the complexities of trauma, uncover the misconceptions of sexual assault, expose the barriers that block your blessings to emotional healing and restoration.
