About me...
I have a passion to see people break free from painful patterns of relating to others, God, and themselves in order to experience more intimacy, joy and peace. I have been counseling for the last 27 years, after leaving a career as a CPA, because of my own personal journey of healing and growth. I also enjoy teaching and leading groups, and speaking at conferences and retreats. I have been married to Mike for 30+ years and together, we have led marriage retreats and Relational Care Intensives. We have three children, all currently in college: Samuel who is married to Abby, Davis, and Ashlyn. In my spare time I love hanging out with my family, watching football, dancing, traveling and hot yoga.
