I am also only counseling via TELEHEALTH at this time.***

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am an Associate member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. 

My education includes:  M.A. in Marriage and Family Counseling from the University of Mobile; M.S. in Human Resources Administration (Health Care Emphasis) from the University of Scranton; M.A. in Speech Pathology from the University of Florida; and a B.S. in Speech Pathology from Florida State University.  

God's unfailing and unchanging Word is the foundation of my approach to counseling. My education and training in family systems provide a strong orientation to facilitate change. Through my challenges as a wife, mother, single parent, step-mother in a blended family, mother-in-law, and grandmother, God has taught me empathy and given me insight. He truly wastes nothing! (Romans 8:28). I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, including senior adults.

After enjoying a rewarding career as a Speech Pathologist, followed by a maturing season of "retirement," God drew me into a second career in Marriage and Family Therapy. It has been an amazing journey!

I have been in private practice over 25 years . My clients have the privilege of talking about faith related issues, if they so choose, in a setting that validates the significance of their faith to the rest of their lives. I believe that each individual needs to be understood as much as possible through their own frame of reference, whether Christian or not. I work with children, adolescents and adults . I lend myself to my practice authentically, passionately, and with a belief that the human spirit is resilient and bountiful.
