Before moving to West Texas in 1997, we lived in Austin, Texas where I saw clients in private practice, at Waterloo Counseling Center and at The Samaritan Center for Counseling and Pastoral Care.  I continued my work at the Samaritan Counseling Center of West Texas, Inc. in Midland, Texas from 1997 until 2001.

As a registered nurse with certification in obstetrics, I worked as a childbirth-parent educator, nurse educator and consultant for maternal-child health and medical care delivery systems before changing career focus. 

I have extensive speaking and consulting experience with medical care providers, private sector businesses, mental health agencies and in-patient treatment programs, women’s groups, clergy and church groups.
