Growing up in Oklahoma City, I didn’t have a childhood dream of becoming an author, but I did love to read – a lot! From reading the backs of cereal boxes to books from the local library, I developed an appreciation for the power and impact of the written word. However, I didn’t write my first book until years later.
After working for many years as an Administrator in a large multi-specialty medical clinic, I returned to school and began a second career. I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling and am licensed in the state of Colorado.
Since then I have spent many hours encouraging, motivating, challenging and inspiring individuals, couples and families in my private practice.
That second career prompted a move to Denver, Colorado, where I established a counseling division at a large church. I’ve also conducted a variety of workshops and I remember well the one I called “Approval Addiction.” So many participants craved more information about setting boundaries that I decided to write “Yes! I Said No!”
My goal was to create an easy-to-read, and more importantly, an easy-to-implement book to truly change lives. This book is designed to help people become free from such issues as negative family patterns or a mistaken belief that pleasing others is a spiritual gift.
I still enjoy reading, and my husband Jerry and I also like to travel and get away to the mountains to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies, photography.
