LETTERS AFTER MY NAME:

LMFTA (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate)

EDUCATION:

Masters in Family Therapy - Friends University 2011
Bachelors in Education - Wichita State University 2005

FAVORITE THING ABOUT MY JOB:

Helping people see themselves as a role in a story that makes sense and they are holding the pen. Everything makes sense in context, and once you understand that context you can better decide what to do next.

BEST HEALTH ADVICE:

Keep moving and doing! Putting in the effort to do things, even on the days you don't want to, can give some immediate benefits and makes it so much easier to do something again the next day. It could be a walk, a bike ride, a conversation, practicing a hobby, a trip to the grocery store, a home project or whatever! Keep going and try to do a little.

MOTIVATION FOR HEALTH:

Trying to practice good stewardship. Whether it's a campsite, a playground, an office or my own body, I want to leave it a little better than I found it.

FAVORITE HEALTHY FOOD:

Granola and yogurt parfaits. It's sweet, it's crunchy and it can be customized with fruits or berries to fit whatever craving you're having at the moment. And it gives you energy that lasts for a while.
