"There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in --that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible." — Mother Teresa
She loves the preceding quote from Mother Teresa and feels blessed knowing her “work” is her calling. She believes God put her on earth to be a mother and to “beautifully” reach out to hurting children through therapy. Her passion is for God, her family, and all children. She has been married for more than 17 years, and has three beautiful children. She loves her roles as a wife and mother and feels these roles have strengthened her counseling skills. Her family attends and serves at Antioch Baptist Church. She enjoys spending time with family, fishing, sporting events, movies, and traveling.
