Autorenporträt

Raised in rural America, the lack that surrounded her upbringing was more than financial. It was a lack of nurturing, self acceptance, a sense of value and the secrecy that depicts the pattern of behavior taught without word: don't talk, don't touch, don't feel. An unplanned pregnancy interrupted her plans for college and a means of escape. The pregnancy was the result of date rape. The trajectory of her life was changed. Only after leaving an abusive seven year marriage her life story begin to evolve. Working for companies based in big business resulted in education in business management in addition to experiencing the beauty and diversity of United States. Upon returning to the east coast and her home base she opened a health store/cafe for which she was the sole proprietor for twelve years. A dramatic life change found her working for adjudicated male youth ages thirteen to eighteen. That was the point she found her niche as she had a passion for working with this population. It was at forty years old that she found herself in college to become an addiction counselor. The passion hasn't changed only the population. From an addiction counselor to inner city youth to working in a detox unit in a hospital yet a geographical move to the South to experience adult males in an equine therapy based residential treatment center to an Outpatient IOP and currently working with males and females in DWI groups. It has always been a delight to find that any group of people I work with is unique and interesting. Their stories find a place in the sharing and and we work to help one another. There is a never ending story with new characters every group. The excitement of the "ah ha" keeps me totally invested.
