It’s a world of commotion! And for many, it’s not only outside of us but raging within us, as well! Where is clarity? Where is real help? At one time or other we all get stuck in our relationships (marital, parent-child, sibling, in-laws, employer, social), our life experiences (past, present, or future), and by emotion overload with things in, and things out, of our control. By themselves, or combined into a perfect storm that levels you flat, these challenging situations can create a desperation for relief and answers!

My passion is to see families stay together, not out of duty or obligation, but because they enjoy and delight in one another's company.

I know that there are thousands of hurting individuals in my community and I am dedicated to your genuine care.
