I first got interested in psychology and sociology when I started attending college. This was back in 1997-98, while I was still on active duty in the Air Force. Yet, at the time, I knew I wasn't ready yet to help others.

​

After the military, I became a teacher and taught for a few years. But, I was always more passionate about education theory and working with adults, then being in the classroom.

​

Finally in my 40's, God hit me over the head and said, "It's time. You have been doing a lot of different things trying to find the right fit. You have gained a lot of good experience. Now it's time to go back to school and become a counselor!" Everything lined up! I learned that I had a gift and passion, to gather information and be able to communicate it to others in a way they can understand. 

​

There is a history of the women in my family finding their feet in their 40s. My Great-Grandmother started the tradition by going back to college to become an interior decorator. My mom bought an orchard and started farming. My sister started her in-home-senior living center.

 

Now it's my turn. I never thought I would be where I am now; content, happy, and helping others. I am excited to walk with you during your extraordinary healing process.
