As the founder of Valued in Purpose Life Coaching, I want to thank you for visiting my website. I have been a part of coaching and counseling in some format or another for several years. I am a graduate from Liberty University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I am currently finishing my master’s degree for counseling. I am also certified in Mental Health and Trauma counseling. Life’s journey with my husband of 23 years has taken us on many paths as he finished his 20 years of service in the Navy (so grateful to all our veterans and their families). We have a blended family of five children, with two currently living at home.

Before we got married and up to the year 2020, I have worked with Elementary age children in kid’s ministry - for over 25 years – I am grateful for the privilege I was given to work with families and their children to help nurture their children through those precious years. My recent blessing on this journey was to be part of a terrific staff with my local church as I lead and coordinated a team for 6 years for our Special Needs ministry which supported families with Special Needs children of all ages. My husband and I having a Special Needs son of our own, that gave me a lot of experience and a heart for those families and that community.

Being originally from mid-central Florida, once the military brought us to South Texas, we knew God wanted us to plant our roots here, so we have been here for 16 years now. In that time frame, our family has faithfully served with our church for over 14 years, including our Special Needs son who is thriving in his areas of ministry. I have been blessed to be a volunteer, a leader and on staff in different areas of ministry and now I look forward to using the gifts and experiences that have been imparted into me by godly leaders as a tool to be a part of God’s healing journey for others.
