My interests are to work with women and children in moving them toward the abundant life that can be found in Jesus Christ. I help clients to find purpose and to navigate through major life transitions. I specifically assist children with learning challenges such as, reading, writing, and math, and those struggling with executive functioning. I will help establish routines, set goals, create boundaries, and to manage emotions and organizational challenges. As these learning challenges can affect the entire family, I also work with parents and coach them on. How to help their child at home, including some effective parenting strategies.

​

Being a senior citizen myself, I also work with senior citizens on the many challenges we face during the aging process. When grieving a spouse, I will work with the client on establishing new routines and their dependence on and growth in the Lord. I also work with those who are assisting their aging parents and how to maintain boundaries while still honoring their parents.

​

I have taught in the public and private sectors for over 30 years. I have a BSed in Elementary Education from Georgia Southern University and a MSed in Learning Disabilities from Augusta University. I am currently enrolled in Light University and working toward a certification in life coaching.
