I was born and raised in Ohio, but I now live in the sunny state of Florida.  I've got a phenomenal husband and 3 great kids, who are now all cool young adults.  I also have the sweetest golden retriever named Pumpkin.  I enjoy hiking, boating, swimming, biking, or just relaxing with a good book. I love dating my husband and going on adventures with my kids.  I also have so much fun hanging out with my fun friends and volunteering at church! 

However, I have lived through some very dark days. During my childhood years, I grew up in an abusive and dysfunctional family. During my young adult years, I found myself in an unhealthy and controlling relationship.  

When I was ready to give up - I found my faith. 

I left everything and completely started over with 3 young children.  I worked very hard putting my life back together, the healthy way. I put myself back through school, lots of school! And I found some new friends who truly cared about me. 

I am now a Certified Professional Life Coach, a Certified Christian Life Coach, a Life-Skills and Wellness Educator, and have a Graduate Certificate in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. I have always been in the "helping" field and have spent my career encouraging all kinds of people going through different forms of crisis. I now focus most of my time on private appointments, but I often speak at events, teach groups in workshops, and write.   

Overcoming my personal struggles with hard work, plus my extensive education and invaluable life-experience supporting people in crisis, have equipped me to help my clients in their specific challenges. 

So no matter where you are in your journey I want you to know that you don't have to be perfect to be successful. I want to be that safe, private, and confidential person that you can go to ask questions, get counseling and coaching on all things "life and faith" and notice a positive difference in your life because of our relationship. I want you to see growth, healing, overcoming, and confidence in your life!

I hope to hear from you soon. I would be honored to walk through your challenges with you.
