I believe our actions can make a big difference in the lives of others and I want mine to be positive.  More kindness and compassion would go a long way in this world. I value time and health more than anything as I grow older.  Family and friends are my main priority, a good work environment is a huge bonus, and plenty of laughter is mandatory!

I’m not about to slow down!  My bucket list is still growing and I hope it never stops! In my free time I especially love being with my grandchildren, live music never fails (rock & roll and blues are my personal faves!), watching sports, and just hanging out with hubby and our dogs. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and storytelling as well as self-reflection as tools for healing and growth. I think I can best support clients by building on what already works for them and fostering resilience and self-understanding. 

I value authenticity, collaboration, and meeting clients where they are. I’m not about pretending, quick fixes, perfection, or one-size-fits-all-solutions – real change takes time and intention. In my free time, you can find me enjoying a book, exploring the outdoors, or trying a new weekly hobby.

I believe that every person is made In God’s image and therefore, they have the power to do good works and lead joyful lives. Difficult relationships, bad choices, loss and trauma can compromise the person God intended us to be. Effective therapy guides a person to pull from both internal and external resources to find healing, grace hope, peace, joy and purpose. Ephesians 2:20, Romans 8:28

I value my faith, family, friends, good health, doing good work, deep connections, and helping others.

I’m not about judging, jealousy, exclusion, limitations, or following the crowd.

My Style

My therapeutic style might be me sitting on the floor next to you with my head in your lap or sometimes when you iz having a really tough time I will sit next to you on the couch and lean on you so you know I’m there for you.        

I’ve been trained as a certified Canine Good Citizen and I have also trained myself on some things I do at the office. Basically, if you are looking for a bright spot in your day, I’m your Dawg!

I believe that every interaction—no matter how small—can make a difference. As a mental health administrator, I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where clients feel safe and respected from the moment they walk in or call. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I’m committed to making that first step as smooth and supportive as possible. With a strong sense of empathy, attention to detail, and a passion for helping others, I’m here to ensure that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

I value compassion, confidentiality, and clear communication. I understand that reaching out for support can be a vulnerable step, and I strive to ensure that appointments, records, and front desk operations run smoothly to support both our clients and clinical team. Most importantly, I value being a calm, dependable presence for those who may be facing difficult times, and I take pride in helping make their path to care feel a little easier.

My Style

I won’t allow anyone to walk through our doors without being seen, heard, and treated with respect. As the first point of contact, I know how important it is to create a welcoming and safe environment. With strong organizational skills and a compassionate approach, I help ensure our clients feel supported from the very first call to every follow-up visit. Whether it’s scheduling, managing information, or just offering a kind word. 

In my free time, I enjoy camping, spending time with family and friends, and watching my kids succeed as they pursue their hopes and dreams. Being present for those moments brings me joy and keeps me grounded in what matters most.

I believe in The Trinity, Choosing people carefully, perseverance and intentionality. 

I value my faith, my wife, kids, grandkids, integrity, and honesty. 

I’m not about drama, attitudes and people that suck the life out of you. 

In my free time I tend to get into trouble as I “fix” the things I have been putting off, so I try not to have free time.

I believes in my favorite Hooman, He feeds me, pets me, scratches in the good spots and throws my ball.  

I value walks, my vent that I lay next to when I iz hot and my treat that I get every night at that time I give my human the look.
