Life has a way of opening doors to new possibilities. I started my career as a piano teacher, then became a wife and a few years later, a busy mother. In my few spare hours I trained and volunteered with the local police department in Victim Services, helping hurting people.

I have been involved with horses most of my life, so, when my children were old enough, I included professional training for horses and coaching for people. I added from there becoming a worship leader at church, then a pastor, and a pastoral counselor.

While pastoring, I saw a tremendous need in the religious community for reality-based counseling. I had come from a very abusive family of origin, and knew the work it took to deal with “baggage”. The people I saw in churches were not always heard and helped effectively by the clergy. In fact, they often left the church, feeling more wounded than ever. So I went back to school and gained a diploma in Trauma and Addiction Recovery work. To keep learning, I added a year of education with the Couples Therapy Institute, and continue to add more training in order to serve my clients better. I have combined each of these modalities with Godly, Biblical principles to provide a specialized approach to helping you deal with your past, present, and future.

So, when you want to face your concerns and make changes, I’ll get in there with you, and take a no-nonsense approach to help you move forward.

God is at the center of my life, and of my great desire to see you succeed. You can have a healthy life and satisfying relationships, starting today!
