Background and Experience
I live in McKinney with my husband and 2 almost grown children. We are actively involved in our local church. In my free time, I love to hang out with my 'kids,' take walks with my husband, travel (especially cruising), read, binge watch a good TV show and eat good food. My desire is to help clients make and reach their goals. I am here to walk alongside you as you work through challenging experiences and give you the tools you need to find success.
