I worked in the world of education for 30 years, 25 of those years as a Principal for special needs children and their families. I am a Board Certified Coach (BCC) and have a Masters in Education Administration.

I’m an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 trained Practitioner and a certified Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP), working with clients who are struggling with sexual addictions, infidelity, and compulsive behaviors.

My previous business, Latitude Training, trained speakers, teachers, and trainers in both sacred and secular environs. It continues to be a source of consultation requests by professionals throughout the United States that are building worldwide and volunteer networks for national and international organizations/ministries.

I coauthored a curriculum with Israeli sculptor Rick Wienecke around The Fountain of Tears, his profound sculpture installations in Arad, Israel, and Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland. The Fountain of Tears and accompanying curriculum are intended to establish a dialogue about the intersection of the Holocaust and the Crucifixion and their implications together for Christians and Jews.

I currently live in the peace-filled countryside of Springville, Alabama with my husband Michael. I’m an avid runner, a grandmother of eight beautiful grandchildren, and a lover of cats.
