I love God and I love people. 

​

I have been following Jesus since 1978.

I was called into ministry in 1992 and attended Nazarene Bible College to obtain a degree in Biblical Studies.

​

My faith and love for a lifestyle pleasing to my kind Heavenly Father would inspire me to face those issues in my life that kept me frustrated and discontented. At the heart of this was alcoholism and I stepped into sobriety at 35 years of age. 

 

It was then that my life began to move in truly meaningful ways. I went from good to great as a wife and a mother; I left the legal field and attended Coach Training Institute where I certified in fulfillment coaching. I love the idea of healthy, functional relationships so I also certified in two personality assessment models helping people to better understand themselves and those around them.

​

My passion is supporting family and friends who are suffering because someone they love is trapped in addiction.  There are specific strategies proven to effectively help addicts. Those strategies are counterintuitive, however, and are best carried out with support of a qualified coach.

 

I have been married 50 years, am mom to Christopher and Jaime, both in their late 40s, who have lived clean and sober most of their adult lives; and I am a happy and blessed Mimi to four beautiful grandchildren.  ​​​​
