Based on her research and long experience with couples of all ages--those contemplating marriage for the first time, or after several relationships, she has developed a unique premarital counseling program.

Her personal and professional experiences have contributed to her understanding and compassion for others. She has firsthand experience in marriage, separation, divorce, single parenting, and the contentment of a second marriage. Her thoughtful husband-to-be agreed to her decision to wait several years until her children were grown. She now enjoys a quiet lifestyle and the luxurious role of grandmother.
