  • Do your clients receive assignments to work on between sessions?
    Yes. I use The Genesis Process workbook with my clients, and there are self-evaluations and practical applications for every process. This allows the client to go deeper in their emotional healing journey and apply the tools they are learning.

  • What do I need to know to make the most out of working with you?
    I encourage you to commit to the work of emotional healing. In turn, you’ll get 100% commitment from me in helping you during your journey. Also, before making this commitment, think of the time it will involve. It has taken years to get to where you are now. Your emotional healing will also take time.
  • Do you have a favorite story from your work?
    Yes! Several years ago, there was a couple at my church on the brink of divorce. They tried counseling but were still on shaky ground. They heard that my husband and I provided emotional healing services and signed up for the next group class at church. They are still together and just had their second child. They told us that if it weren’t for the Genesis Process, they would not be together. We were so thrilled that they committed to the process, to each other, and to their marriage!

    Both, of course! I’m a foodie! 😊 I love the freedom and creativity of cooking and the precision of baking.
  • What is something you would like to do but haven't yet?
    Skydiving! I know it sounds wild, but I’ve always wanted to jump out of a plane.
