I started this business in 2002 after graduating from Converse College, Spartanburg, SC, with an Educational Specialist Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.  I did my clinical practicum at The Family Therapy Teaching Clinic of Westgate in Spartanburg, SC under the direction of Dr. James N. Rentz, D.Min., LMFT, LMFT-S. 

I am currently licensed in the state of North Carolina and South Carolina as a Marriage and Family Therapist.  I am a Clinical Member of the AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists).

I am very interested in working with people in these three areas

• Women who wish to achieve emotional, financial, and spiritual independence.
• Couples wanting to improve their relationships.
• Children who have emotional problems. 

In addition to my Ed.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy I have two other graduate degrees.  I have a Masters in International Management from Thunderbird in Phoenix, AZ and a Master of Science in Taxation from Fontbonne University in St. Louis, MO.  I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN and received a Batchelor of Business Administration in Finance and Modern Languages. I worked in the corporate world for seventeen years, from 1982 - 1999.

During those years as a single, female professional working in a large city, I often felt like I was drifting aimlessly through life, not exactly knowing what I wanted, but always wishing for "something better".  That elusive "something better" that I was seeking so desperately was usually a new job or a new boyfriend.  Nothing ever connected for me until a dear friend helped me realize that the empty feeling gnawing away at my insides was driving me towards a reckless, compulsive lifestyle.
