I received my Ph.D. in community-clinical psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1978, and am licensed as a psychologist in Tennessee. (I’ve previously been licensed in Illinois and Wisconsin, but those licenses are now inactive since I no longer practice in those states).
In 2003, I served as the first president of the East Tennessee Coaches Association. I have been listed in Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals, and in 2007 was chosen as “Woman of the Year in Professional Life Coaching” by the National Association of Professional and Executive Women.
