I am passionate about my profession. I have a Masters of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology from Oklahoma City University. My Bachelors Degree is in Psychology from University of Central Oklahoma. 

My experience has included working with people from young children to adults in their 70s. I provide counseling for individuals, families, couples and groups. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oklahoma. I am a member of the American Counseling Association and Oklahoma Counseling Association. I volunteer as a member of the Board of Directors for Edmond Family Counseling – a nonprofit local counseling agency.

I have been in general private practice for over eight years, and have worked in the mental health field for over thirteen years. I had extensive experience working with adolescents through providing therapy for students in all five middle schools in the Edmond area for five years. I also have previous experience with foster children. I worked for a period of time teaching parents skills to provide a safe and nurturing home through the Child Welfare Department.

I provide immediate help by phone to parents through the Parents Helping Parents website. They offer support to parents who are dealing with a son or daughter abusing alcohol or drugs, or just out-of-control behavior. 

My practice consists of about 25% adolescents, 50% general adult individuals, 25% marital issues. 

I have lived in the Edmond / Oklahoma City area for 36 years. I make my home in Edmond with my husband, Greg. We have been married for over 35 years. I have two grown sons, Austin and Ben. I worship at New Covenant United Methodist Church, where I serve as a Stephen Ministry Leader, and am actually employed there part time as the Director of Congregational Care.   I love to travel, read, knit, play in the flower beds and spend time with my family and friends.  Life is good!
