I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and graduated from Oklahoma State University. Although my primary interest was psychology, finances dictated that I take another route and I chose Social Studies education. After moving to Florida, I taught junior high school for 9 years and then pursued my masters in counseling. The next twenty one years were spent as an elementary school counselor. During this time I was licensed as a mental health counselor and worked at the Charter Outpatient Clinic. In 2001, I retired from the school system and opened a private practice in Mandarin. I work primarily with adults. My practice includes both gay and straight clients.

It is the same impetus that motivates me to work with all clients...to help people overcome the issues that are holding them back from peace and joy. I have two first cousins who are gay. I understand the pain of family rejection or, at the least, disapproval that gay people endure after coming out. One of my cousins is in a long term committed relationship and she and her partner are happy.
The primary focus of my practice is stress relief. I help people lower their level of anxiety and live a more stress resilient lifestyle.
I am inspired by the fact that so many clients are motivated to seek out help. I am also excited by the many healing modalities available. These are definitely exciting times.
