A Sanctuary for Healing. A legacy for Generations

For years, I carried my own wounds—some from childhood, others from choices, circumstances, and the chaos that life can bring. I’ve walked through toxic relationships, generational trauma, and seasons where hope felt like a myth. I know what it’s like to fight for your mental health with no retreat, no silence, no safe place to land.

But I also know what healing looks like.

When God placed this vision in my heart, it wasn’t just about building cabins, trails, or facilities. It was about building a sanctuary for the broken, a place where young people and families could step away from the noise of survival—and step into a space of renewal, reflection, and restoration.

That place is Hope in the Ozarks — 22 acres of land where trauma ends and purpose begins.

Hope in the Ozarks will be a retreat and healing center specifically designed for:

Youth battling trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss

Families needing reconnection and support

Military families, fathers, and mothers in crisis

Communities that need more than just words — they need action

With licensed therapists, mentors, and immersive nature-based therapy, we'll offer:

Mental health counseling in a peaceful setting

Adventure-based healing: ATVs, lake activities, obstacle courses

Retreats for mentorship, parenting, relationships, and youth leadership

A place where broken systems are replaced with community, faith, and legacy

• 1 in 5 youth struggle with mental health issues
• Suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death among teens
• Most children in underserved communities have zero access to nature-based healing
• Trauma isn’t just emotional—it becomes physical, generational, and systemic

“If we don’t give our children a place to heal, the world will give them a place to break.”
