As a military chaplain's wife my working career needed to fit into our many moves. In many cases I was able to use my skills as a certified teacher and a licensed marriage and family therapist.Heading a PREP (predischarge education program) was a great challenge and rewarding during the time we were stationed in Germany. Education has always been my love even after becoming a licensed therapist.Most of my career was in private practice and owning a tutoring service (Academic Achievement Associates). It was a way to use all of my training.Due to my experience with the military culture I have taken rotations as a Military Family Life Consultant. Give an Hour is one of my volunteer organizations. Give an Hour™ is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), founded in September 2005 by Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a psychologist in the Washington, D.C., area. The organization’s mission is to develop national networks of volunteers capable of responding to both acute and chronic conditions that arise within our society.Give an Hour offers great training on strategies for treating veterans and their families especially PTSD of which I take advantage.
