Using her psychotherapy training and experience, she helps her clients identify their individual strengths, interests, values and goals as she assists them in planning the exciting transition to their new retirement lifestyle.
As a ReCareer Coach, Dee has "walked her talk" by recareering from her successful psychotherapy practice to coaching.

She and her husband have both pursued encore careers that provide them with the freedom to spend time monthly in their second home in Florida while slowing down their previous careers in Virginia. Her post-retirement career is evidence that a creative lifestyle is possible if you plan well and are receptive to change and adventure.
