About
I am a Christian and a follower of Jesus. I married and have four adult children and several grandchildren. I have an undergrad degree in Christian leadership and management. My masters degree is from Lincoln Christian seminary. I have a lot of experience in integrating Biblical principles in therapy.
I am able to meet clients in their most difficult moments. Life is hard, but God is good and able to bring healing and hope! “Hope is the anchor for the soul”Heb 6:19
