When I was little, I had big dreams but life circumstances took me on a different much harder path. My primary purpose through the 60's70's&80's was my addiction. I was widowed by 27, left with 3 children and still using. I became sober in 1987, went back to school & started in the addiction field. I discovered most chronic relapsers struggled with emotional traumas and PTSD. I founded The Refuge & 10 years later, sold it and focused on Spirit2Spirit teaching professionals how to help trauma survivors. Today, I am the Executive Director and co-Founder of the Guest House Ocala where we treat trauma and the self defeating behaviors.

My passion in life is to help others. From veterans, first responders, couples, or those just needing someone to talk to. I am currently accepting new clients at this time. I specialize in trauma informed care and those that suffer from PTSD/combat PTSD. I have over 10 years of experience working with those who have struggled with trauma and substance abuse. My goal is to help find the underlying reasons why we use process addictions (drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, etc.) to cope with our traumas. I currently hold a PhD in Psychology with a specialization in General Psychology and I am trained in ART Advanced/Enhanced level 3.

My most improved clients are the ones who have been told they're too smart for their own good, struggle with existential or spiritual angst, feel displaced, want to be pushed and challenged while utterly supported, need clarity on whether or not they have victimized or been victimized, have questions for which they have been told there are no answers, suffer from unprocessed or complicated grief, need help applying the knowledge they already posses, who feel like they are "too much," are afraid of feelings, and require an absolutely neutral and judgement free space to be vulnerable.
