About Me

I enjoy my work, because I love people. I love talking to people, empowering people, encouraging people. I love asking questions, seeking understanding, and meeting the needs of others. My passion is to see lives and relationships transformed into what they are meant to be. I see my career as my mission.

I believe… that every person has immeasurable value, regardless of their circumstances… and every person deserves respect.

I believe… that “normal” people can find themselves overcome by stress, dissention, grief, loneliness, and misunderstanding.

I believe… that when we face adversity, we tend to be resilient. We overcome obstacles and trials every day; but when we feel overburdened, we may need help to utilize our numerous (often untapped) strengths and resources.

I believe… that there are no lost-causes. I believe that every marriage can be salvaged, as long as partners are willing and ready to work hard and stay committed. I believe that families can learn to live together in peace. I believe that individuals can learn to manage and take control of their mental health.

I believe…IN YOU. I believe that working together, I can help you find your way. I can help you feel strengthened and encouraged. I can help you reach the goals you have for your life, your family, and your relationships.
