Born and raised in the Detroit area, she earned her Ph.D. in psychology from Western Michigan University. Her specialties in her practice, articles, speaking engagements, and tapes include Aging, Addictions, Health, Relationships, Spirituality, and Intuitive Counseling. Her psychological thriller, LOVE THE EVIL, is fictitiously derived from some of her experiences as a psychologist and as a divorced woman attempting to surmount the singles scene. Watch for her political thriller, The Statehouse Murders, coming next year.
