A bit about Lifepaths

My vision for Lifepaths is to create a safe place for individuals, couples, and families to come and share about their journey. Whatever path you have travelled upon, it has brought you to this place at this time. I hope you will find that you do not have to walk alone and that there is help for whatever challenges you are facing.

As a Neuropsychologist, I am fascinated by brain/behavior relationships and have spent many years studying and training others in this area. My favorite part about doing this work, though, is bringing people hope, no matter what the issue or how deep the pain they are facing. I am committed to providing you with the tools you need to live the life you were meant to live, to no longer live in bondage to past hurts or present fears, and to use those experiences as building blocks for a brighter future.

I love this work, am passionate about bringing hope no matter what the situation, and committed to bringing God’s light into the darkest places.

I am also convinced that when people are willing to show up and invest themselves in the work of change they will see it happen. Life can be lived in a higher, better, and nobler way, and healing can happen no matter how deep the hurts we have experienced. Families and marriages can be transformed and renewed!

Since I have been married over 40 years  myself, I understand the joys as well as the stresses that come with marriage and family. As a Christian, I also understand the resources available to us on another level altogether.

Another important part of my work is the teaching aspect of my job and ministry. As someone who spent over 15 years as a University professor, I love to teach and equip people. I have taught at many events, conferences, and retreats over the years and hope to continue doing so for years to come. I have spent many years leading groups (bible studies, weekly prayer meeting, women’s ministry events, etc.) and regularly teach a variety of classes for couples and families that are open to the community, including:

  • Love Dance: A Short Course in Couple Care
  • Asking God the Hard Questions
  • Relationships 101

Additionally, I have worked with several ministries and churches in helping them with issues of church discipline/church split concerns and assisted pastors and ministers in their unique ministry challenges. It would be a privilege to help you  or your church in this or the above areas as well.

 

 

You do not have to be alone on your journey!

God never intended for you to walk life’s journey alone.

I hope you will believe this enough to give yourself permission to seek a safe place to share your struggles. Wherever you are on your life’s path now, I pray you will allow someone to come alongside you, to walk with you, to be with you in your pain, to share your experiences, and to find the healing path at last.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with a little quiet introspection now and then, remember that we all need others to walk alongside us to help keep us on the right path through life.

There is safety in numbers.

Some places simply should not be navigated alone. We are safer when we keep the company of wise friends who have our best interests at heart.

We are stronger when we have the support of others.

There’s an old Zambian proverb that says, “When you run alone, you run fast. But when you run together, you run far.” Meaningful relationships matter. If we have them, we need to nurture and care for them; if we do not, we need to cultivate and grow them.

It is wise.

We all learn and grow much more by walking with others than we do alone. When we travel every lifepath alone, we have no one to help us find our way back when we stray from the right path. We all need traveling companions to help us discern when we have gotten off the path; this is part of God’s protection and keeping for us. Do not give up hope. Keep seeking and keep praying for health and wholeness – there is hope!
