I have a Master of Education in Counseling. My background as a licensed professional counselor, licensed substance abuse treatment practitioner, and clinically certified domestic violence counselor gives me a unique perspective on the heart of women.

I’m the author of:

• Moving from Broken to Beautiful® through Forgiveness
• Moving from Broken to Beautiful: 9 Life Lessons to Help You Move Forward
• Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer

As a speaker, author, speaking and writing coach, counselor, and teacher, I desire to use my gifts to serve you. I’ve taught Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, and Precept Bible studies and was a children’s leader in Bible Study Fellowship.

My deepest desire is to use God’s gifts to serve you.

I serve on the Advisory Board of Christians in Recovery and formerly served as the Regional Speaker Trainer of Virginia for Stonecroft Ministries and on the board of Kairos Prison Ministry at the Virginia Correctional Center for Women.
