While I am not one to define myself by titles, some have graciously referred to me as a psalmist of peace. I receive that reference with humility and honor. My heart is simply to create a transformational atmosphere of intimate worship that first ministers to the heart of Yahweh and second facilitates true shalom and healing for others.
As a prophetic psalmist whose sweet spot is soaking worship, I know first hand that healing and restoration can come through sacrificial worship from a place of brokenness. No matter who you are – no matter what you have done or what as been done to you, please know that you are deeply loved, and there is nothing in you that is broken beyond repair. The One who created you knows you best and loves you most. His heart is for you to be fully healed and restored, to be a living, breathing testimony of who He is.
“We worship before an audience of One. Everyone else just gets to listen in.”

A Little Background
As a worship leader/songwriter, my time leading worship spans over thirty-five years in churches, home fellowships, houses of prayer, healing rooms, women’s events, outreach settings and other public venues.
I first started singing/playing on church worship teams at the age of fourteen and led worship for the first time around age twenty. Over the years, I have enjoyed the group dynamic of singing/playing with and leading full teams and smaller ensembles, as well as the more intimate experience of leading alone with just me and the keys. Every expression has its own flavor, and I love it all! Various seasons have opened different doors along the way from Texas to Arizona, Arkansas, Washington, D.C. and Israel.
Originally from Austin, TX, I have lived in several cities and two other states over the years, but I kept finding my way back to the Lone Star state that has always been home. My husband, David, and I live in central Texas with my Vietnam veteran dad and our German Shepherd, Max. Aside from making music and writing, I also love digging into family history, cooking and baking (mostly from scratch – and trying new recipes), and managing my online boutique, WaterSong Creations. This is where my creativity takes on a more visual expression in the form of original designs for apparel, home decor, gifts and more – all themed around faith, family and freedom. More than anything, though, I love spending time with family and friends. And Max – he loves me for the belly rubs I give him!
