As a Ph.D., CSP and MCC, I am an internationally recognized communications professional. Life has offered me a unique perspective and style. I am able to get core issues quickly and efficiently. Clients often say, "Wow, that was easy!"

Life has rarely been easy for me...thus my desire to make yours just a little easier. I was born severely deformed in Springfield, IL and spent much of my early years in foster homes. Then, when I was five years old, I was sent to live with my biological father. I have yet to meet my biological mother.

At my father's house, I suffered years of unspeakable (to this day) abuse. I left when I was 16 by calling the police. From then on, I lived in a halfway houses, a group home and foster homes.

Surprisingly, I am blessed with a spirit that few enjoy. Unlike many that turn to bitterness and all it brings, I choose to demonstrate a positive, excitement about life.

My educational experience includes a B.A. in English, an M.A. in Speech Communication, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. I have also earned several academic honors as well an international award in communication education. In addition, I hold several professional titles, including Certified Speaking Professional and Master Certified Coach.

In business since 1987, I enjoy partnering with high-achievers that believe in developing themselves and others.

As I move forward, I am finding value in focusing on the passions of life.  I am blessed.

On a personal note, I am happily married and the proud mother of two grown sons and stepmother of two grown daughters.  I love living in the wild, wild west of Arizona!
