I am the co-president of a Psychiatric Assoc. Of Central Illinois and the founder of Pastures of Hope and J. Ponder Counseling & Coaching. I have been an LCSW and a certified addiction counselor in Illinois for over 27 years. Most recently, I have earned my certification as a life coach and am the behavioral specialist at Losin’ It with Sonya Jones.
I am passionate about helping people enjoy their life and all it has to offer. I have walked through grief in many areas of her life and use my experience of loss to empower others to show that healing is possible.
