My role in other people’s lives is a role that I carry with great conviction. Six of my seven children were adopted from the United States and South Korea, and the seventh is my biological child. On a personal level, I have dealt with grief, infertility, and miscarriage, as well as pre- and post-adoptive issues.<\/p>\n
My husband and I have served as a host family for almost two decades. Our hosted students and adults are from several countries including: Brazil, Chile, China, Finland, Japan, Kenya, Liberia, Luxembourg, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. I have helped high school and college-aged individuals who are searching for their purpose and dealing with adjustment and anxiety issues. I have also mentored individuals and provided them with leadership growth skills.<\/p>\n
Please know that I am a skilled, caring, compassionate, sensitive counselor who is committed to giving you exceptional care in a non-judgmental setting.<\/p>\n
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren at our bi-monthly Sunday noon dinners. I enjoy reading, kayaking, and visiting my children and grandchildren who live in California, New York, and Oregon, as well as my sisters in Illinois and Wyoming. <\/span><\/p>\n I play the piano two services a month for my church where <\/span>I am also one of the leaders for Apples of Gold, a teaching program for young women and mothers, that meets at my home for 10 weeks a year.<\/span><\/p>\n Other adventures include traveling- especially in the Caribbean- and spending a few weeks in Florida during the winter.<\/span><\/p>\n If you’d like to know more about my personal story, please feel free to read on and explore my journal…\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Inter|800|||||||” text_text_color=”#0497A9″ text_font_size=”62px” text_line_height=”1em” header_text_color=”#0497A9″ text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”100px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n My Journey<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog include_categories=”all” excerpt_length=”200″ show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Inter||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#0497A9″ header_font_size=”34px” body_font=”Inter||||||||” body_text_color=”#595959″ read_more_font=”Inter|300|on||||||” read_more_text_color=”#595959″ read_more_line_height=”2em” pagination_font=”Inter||||||||” text_orientation=”left” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding=”|15px||15px|false|true” border_color_all_fullwidth=”#222244″ border_radii_image=”on|3px|3px|3px|3px” box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My role in other people’s lives is a role that I carry with great conviction.
