I made the decision to become a professional counselor while raising my family through the school of life experiences. I believe in lifelong learning and in the growth mindset. I am grateful for the opportunity to help others learn, change, and achieve goals. I believe in the human spirit to heal and transform. I am married with 2 adult sons, a young granddaughter and have lived in the Peoria area for 30+ years.

 
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
