edit data

I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology as well as teacher certification in Canada. I also have taken courses in human relationships and communication. Although, my primary focus has always been that of wife, mother and now grandmother, I have had a variety of jobs.

In my early thirties, after two severe bouts with depression, I first attempted to write a self-help book. I realize now, on looking back that I needed more experience in order to do so. My books are not fiction, but rather, they are books based on fact and my own personal healing journey.

Drip…Drop…the reality of Depression and its Devastating Consequences!
