"I went to school to become a psychologist because the human mind and heart has always been a mystery to me. I'm interested in what motivates us, what makes us unique and similar. What makes us hurt each other, and how do we choose whom to love? Because of my deep interest in people, I am able to find competent solutions for my clients. I have many years of experience dealing with children and family issues. My experience has taught me not to be judgmental, to be sensitive to clients and be aware of their concerns. That's why patients often find me to be comforting."

"As a mother of two children and wife of a Presbyterian pastor, I understand the tensions involved in balancing work and family life. Oftentimes a child's behavior can greatly affect the way the family functions. That's why I became skilled in helping children and parents work out difficulties. I am also concerned with helping families deal with marital issues, midlife crisis, and transitions to parenthood."

"As a psychologist, I enjoy getting to know many people on an intimate, personal level and guide them through the complicated process of finding peace, both internally and in relationships."
