Welcome to my world....

My world consists of ways that bring hope and healing, reconciliation and restoration to your world. Allow me to introduce myself....

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 25 years. I have practiced in the Lawrence, Kansas area for the last 21 years.  I have been blessed with a marriage of 30 years that has created four, now adult, children. I believe that within this professional and personal journey I can assist others with ways of succeeding, loving, and living. The goal and desire in the outcome of therapy is to enable one past floundering in life toward flourishing in life. Each person's path is ever winding, changing, and even stumbling at times. It isn't that we don't stumble. We all slip and fall. We all can have pebbles within the stream that causes us to lose our focus, to feel like we are caught up in a currant that is out of our control. I am here to lend support toward getting your soul, mind, heart, and body back on course. Idesire to help you in the process of recovery, repair,to reconcile, and hopefully restore the calm and breath of living.

 Allow me to enter your world. Invite me into your life and I will traverse with you in  ways that leave the floundering and create the flourishing. To live in the freedom, not fear, of what your life can be.

My expertise lies in addressing the individual within the context of the family system. We were never created to do life alone.  We were created to do life within the context of family, friends, and community. Our mental and emotional well being depends greatly on how we are affected by others and how others affect us. Nature and nurture are the key ingredients as to who we are and what we do. Getting past traumas, tragedies and  transitions that have kept you floundering can be the present pebbles that keep you fearful from forging in freedom the river of life. Your first step is to reach out your hand, mine is to meet it. Lets do this together.
