Therapist’s Statement
I revel in all things connected to summer-flip-flops, ocean beaches, and especially fishing. My passion is to catch the next monster game fish, but I will settle for anything that bites! I love God, my family and friends, Iowa, and teaming with those who courageously pursue change to enhance their lives, that of their loved ones, and the Kingdom of God. May the Lord richly bless you!
