I am the founder of REN Collaborative and White Dog Blue. I have worked in nonprofit ministries for over 20 years. I'm a Board Certified Professional Christian Life Coach & Lay Counselor specializing in Mental Health Support. I am also an accredited Canine Behavioral Trainer and Certified Therapy Dog Hander. I love bringing dogs into my coaching and educational services. My work has been working primarily with women & teens going through major life transitions. I have led single parent support groups, facilitated parenting classes and worked with individuals and groups in the areas of healthy relationships and mental health.

 

My husband and I have one daughter who is grown and living in the Pacific Northwest with our grand puppies. One of our greatest joys has been rescuing extreme trauma dogs and rehabilitating them to become learning assistance & therapy support dogs. Our pups join us on hiking adventures and camping in our mini camper, that we custom designed and built together. The pups are also part of the White Dog Blue Crew, the "four -legged" staff with the White Dog Blue programs. ​
