Therapist Statement:

I believe that the counseling process should be designed to meet each individual’s specific needs. I look forward to hearing your story and understanding how God has uniquely created you. I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor and I would count it a privilege to walk along side of you in your journey as a newly diagnosed cancer patient.

I have been married to Eric for 36 years and we have four adult children, a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. We enjoy spending time together playing games, including a rousing game of dutch blitz and spending time outdoors walking or playing croquet. In my free time, I love to travel, specifically enjoying new foods, experiencing different cultures and exploring museums and historical sites.  I also enjoy reading, art, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, meaningful conversation, and a good sense of humor.
