I’m an educator-turned-relationship coach with 30+ years helping people learn and apply skills that change their lives. I earned a B.A. in Psychology (St. John’s University), two M.S. degrees in Education (Mercy College; Fordham University, Administration & Supervision), and I’m a certified Life Coach (Coach Training Alliance).

Together with my husband and co-author, Cullen Mattox—an expert communicator with 40+ years of practice—I co-founded WhenLoveWorks Dynamically (WLWD®) to teach a practical, culturally attuned method for healthy relationships. We built the Love Leader® approach and the five-stage Roadmap to Relationship Success, then distilled our best practices into our book, Love Literacy: A Conscious Journey to Healthy Relationships.

Our work centers Black professionals—especially married couples in medicine and entrepreneurship—who need efficient, evidence-informed tools to lead love at home, at work, and in community. We coach individuals and couples, train organizations, and facilitate monthly Love Leader Lounge sessions. WLWD is also approved to deliver professional development in school systems, and our community includes 1,290+ Lounge registrants and an active, growing audience across IG, FB, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

I write and coach with a teacher’s heart and a coach’s precision: capacity + clarity, straight, no chaser—so readers can stop reacting to dysfunction and start practicing healthy love every day.
