Maybe there are times that you feel alone, where no one could possibly understand what you are going through. Maybe you are struggling with something that happened in your past that you cannot seem to move forward from. Or maybe you are struck with anxiety to where the future scares you. No matter what is it that is troubling you, it just seems like it isn’t getting better.

I am a retired army chaplain, combat veteran, and an ordained minister of Christian Reformed Church in North America. I am a certified clinical chaplain and pastoral counselor, a board certified MFT clinical supervisor in KS, a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in Kansas, and a certified Child Play therapist. My professional work and experiences in the military as a chaplain have enriched my perspectives about life dealing. My unique experiences about life and death both in peace and combat have given me valuable insights to help you deal with struggles and issues in lives.

Whether you are wanting support in becoming your best self, enriching relationships or exploring how past experiences are impacting your own or your child's current well-being, therapy may be the helping hand you need. I offer over 15 years experience providing therapy in private practice and community mental health settings. I work from an attachment based and family systems approach to help individuals and families restore balance and improve relationships. I also utilize mindfulness and client centered techniques to empower my clients to reach their full potential.

Do you struggle with anxiety or depression that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, or ability to function? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, by what it means to live up to someone else’s standards, just getting through the day, answering emails, texts or calls, the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel?Do you hope that things could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about anxiety, stress, and depression that seem to never end.

Life can be complicated, messy and hard sometimes. When you encounter those times in your life do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, sad or depressed? I want to help you or your loved ones navigate through those times. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents and adults learn to cope with the challenges they are facing. I will walk with you as you find your way through grief, loss, school challenges, relationship troubles, anxiety and depression.

You stare out the window, asking yourself how did I get here. Wondering where that sense of control and safety that you once experienced went to and trying desperately to figure out how to get it back. You deal with with the feelings of disappointment and sadness in silence. This feeds the anxious thought that things are not going to get better and/or the depressive thought that you are not enough. Leaving you feeling helpless and vulnerable. So you stare out the window, because surely the answer is just over the horizon; holding onto hope but also feeling emotional and physical fatigue. Knowing that you want help without judgement.

Helping individuals, couples and families identify and cope with life challenges in healthy and positive ways.

Three decades of experience helping couples and individuals overcome problems and begin to thrive again. I work with individuals and couples struggling with everything from Sexual Secrets to Breaches in Trust such as Infidelity, Resentments, Lies, Sex, Kinks, Non-traditional Relationships, Mixed Orientation Relationships, ENM, Lifestyle, Bi+ topics, and the myriad of challenges that we all face. They don't have to be road blocks, it's what we do with them and how we use them to learn and grow to become a better partner and ally to each other and ourselves.

Is life harder for you than it needs to be? Have you tried unsuccessfully to overcome past hurts and losses? Does something seem to be stopping you from accomplishing all you want in life? Often, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to overcome challenges on your own. Despite your best efforts, past disruptions can impact your current relationships and interfere with your spirituality as well. If you're looking for someone to help you increase the peace and joy in your life and reclaim the freedom and spontaneity that is rightfully yours I invite you to call me.

The person most likely to benefit from sessions is looking to make changes in their life, and is open to looking at him/herself for the purpose of growing in self-understanding and self-mastery. There are times when the change is as singularly focused as one's own perspective. Exploring one's own strengths, honestly identifying one's areas of need within the context of personal values often become the frame within which one identifies options and is enabled to make healthy choices to resolve problems and make peace with life again.

Having been married for 12 years and a parent for 10. I have done the very things I will ask you to do. Let me show you how to have the most amazing connection. I have grown to know intimacy without shame or fear. Sometimes, I help people divorce. If you are struggling with this decision, let me help you understand what is happening and give direction. Perhaps you and your partner want to work out your separation in my office. You don't have to be enemies and you don't have to be alone in this journey. There are times when ending a relationship is the best thing two people can do.

My passion is to help you heal. Healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, as well as other difficult situations is the goal of seeking therapy.

The Infidelity and Women's Therapist. Therapy can be different from what you've experienced before. Faced with the fear of divorce? I have been there, conquered those fears and have come out soaring on the other side. Sometimes the best thing for a relationship is for it to end and sometimes it just needs some tweaking for it to be exactly the way you hoped it would be. It can be hard to know for sure if the relationship is too far gone, if it can be saved, or if you even want the relationship. We can work together to make sense of your experience.

Are you ready to really live your life and not merely exist? You have within yourself the power to overcome any difficulties. Many of our obstacles, environmental, past experiences, biological dysfunctions, and worries about the future rob us from fully living and enjoying our lives. And the way we view them might keep us stuck and unfulfilled. I can help you notice those external and/or internal factors, identify patterns of thought and behavior, help you neutralize them, and encourage positive change and growth.
