My entire adult life I have had passion to help people of all ages. For 10 years I worked with incarcerated youth as a volunteer at the Sedgwick County Juvenile Facility. For 10 years, I mentored at-risk boys through Youth Horizons, a 30-year old non-profit in Wichita. I am a founding member of River Community Church where for several years I was the young adult group leader. This passion for helping others did not insulate me from personal suffering. Perhaps you can relate?

 

I found success in the business world…(manager at companies such as Cessna, Coleman, & Igloo). I also found success in the academic world (BGS in Liberal Arts & Sciences, BS in Electrical Engineering, BA in Psychology, Master of Business Administration, & Master in Clinical Counseling). Neither business nor academic success kept me from experiencing terrible hardship and heartache. Perhaps you can relate?

 

I have been in very dark places, I have many times, literally, come to the end of myself. Perhaps you can relate?

 

Now, at this time in my life I am experiencing a convergence of training, experience, and passion. I am at the point in my journey where I am positioned to help people who are dealing with life’s greatest challenges. I have a passion to help you and I have the life experience to match my passion.

 

The challenges I am equipped to help you with include:

• Anger management

• Anxiety & stress

• Behavioral concerns

• Bipolar

• Depression

• Divorce

• Faith & life direction

• Loss & grief

• Parenting

• Relational conflict

• Self-identity

 

I also enjoy pickleball, swimming, and spending time with family and friends, which includes my 15-year companion Layla, a Cockamo (Cocker Spaniel/American Eskimo mix). If you will allow, I will walk with you during your time of need.

​

I am also a certified SYMBIS assessment facilitator (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts).
