I am an energetic, licensed therapist and life coach with a well-rounded background of education, personality and experience. My Master's degrees in education and social work, as well as, my Doctoral degree in pastoral counseling blend well with my desire to care for people. I coach people through change and will use the approach that works best for you so that you can have a better life.
My life experience is one of the greatest assets I have as a helping professional/life coach. I have been married 40 years and am the mom of 4 grown, married, professionals and have a whole host of grandchildren. Over the years, I have experienced, lived through and learned to navigate about every triumph and tragedy a family can face.
I am passionate about helping people learn how to successfully walk through the challenges, changes and transitions in life. I will offer you alternative solutions to help you get unstuck and move forward. This has been my life’s work, and it energizes me.
