Getting to the Heart of Things
Would you like to:
- Reconnect or repair your relationships?
- Heal from your hurts?
- Work to the best of your ability?
- Live to your full potential?
As a psychologist, life coach, speaker, and author, I help people change whatever isn’t working in their life. Together, we will get to the heart of the matter.
I see adults, adolescents, children,
and couples for psychotherapy.
Many of my clients are having a hard time coping with new life circumstances, such as becoming a parent, getting divorced, changing jobs, moving to a new area or losing a loved one. In addition to helping individuals, I also see couples for premarital and marital counseling. Frequent couple issues include poor communication, unresolved conflicts, financial strain, sexual difficulties, unforgiveness, in-law interference, affairs, and disagreements over children.
I work with Christians who are living in the public eye and feeling frustrated with life in a fishbowl. Do you work in a high-profile area, such as politics, law, the corporate arena, professional sports, the entertainment industry, the pastorate, lay church leadership, medicine, community leadership, academia, etc.? Or are you married to someone who works in a high-profile area? If your answer is “yes,” click below.
Are you looking for a speaker
who enlightens, educates, and entertains all at the same time?
We all need to laugh more, and my seminars are filled with humor, energy, and practical information that helps people make positive changes in their lives and relationships. My most frequent speaking engagements are keynote addresses, female sexuality seminars, and leading retreats for married couples or women. Many of my presentations have Scriptures woven throughout them. I use real life examples from both my clinical practice and my own marriage and life. Whenever possible, I involve the audience in the presentation. My goal is to provide useful tools and techniques that audience members can immediately apply to their lives and relationships.
