I attended a country school for elementary . . .   It was literally in the country - not even in a small town!  There were pastures on 3 sides of it and a crop field on the 4th.  I grew up on a farm in the Oklahoma panhandle and graduated with a class of 13 students from our little high school.    I attended Oklahoma State University after high school & got my bachelor's degree in biological sciences.  

​

I've worked as an insurance agent, a landscaper, & a farmer.   I have 3 children and a supportive husband.  

I earned my master's in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University.  I was encouraged by a few professors to pursue writing in association with mental health since they perceived my aptitude for it. 

​​​

It is my goal to connect with clients and the public in a way that creates a creative & collaborative environment.  I have seen very beneficial changes in clients' lives after counseling. 

 

It is an honor to be part of the journey of someone as courageous as a therapy client.
