I grew up the oldest of three children, roaming the fields, woods and waters around the small and traditional town of Zeeland, Michigan. Our parents valued education in school and church, and they modeled a life of service to others as one's greatest calling. After graduating from Calvin College in 1977 with a degree in psychology, I left West Michigan for my graduate education at the University of Kansas.
With a Ph. D. in Counseling conferred in 1985, I began cultivating my practice of psychotherapy, psychological evaluation, and in time psychoanalysis. After seven years of working at two psychiatric hospitals, much of that with young adolescents, I began full time private practice in 1991 at my current location. My dedication has always been to help my patients more deeply understand their symptoms and themselves and to live more authentically with self and with others.
In 2005, I completed my education as a psychoanalyst with the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute where I am currently a training analyst, faculty member and chairperson of the Admissions Committee.

Services
Because I have had a wide range of experiences working with people of all ages, I consider myself a general practitioner of psychology and psychoanalysis.
Patients may be confident that I am competent to offer the following services based on education, post-graduate training and 28 years of clinical experience.
Psychological evaluation, including selected forensic situations (excluding neuropsychological testing).
If a patient situation arises either at the onset of treatment or during the treatment that seems outside of my competency, my commitment is to consult with a senior colleague about the best way to helpfully proceed, and then to talk things over carefully with my patient.
