How many hours have you spent on the internet and telling your family that it was for work or for school when it was porn? How many times have you told yourself that you would quit or at least cut down? You do not have to wait until your family finds out before you reach out for help. Pornography addiction can be as real as drug addiction and it can ruin relationships and even get you fired. Partners often see the use of porn as cheating, even if you do not.

After more than 30 years as an educator, minister, counselor, and consultant; I realized that the one thing I am most passionate about is working one-on-one with others – watching them discover clarity, restoration, hope, and passion. This is the single endeavor where I get to bring all that I am to all that I do. A former tenured professor of clinical and organizational psychology at Vanguard University, I taught graduate courses such as Psychosocial Stressors and Mental Health; Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality; Career Development; Behavior and Psychology in Organizations. I still teach at Concordia University.

I support couples who want to work hard to have the relationship they desire, but struggle to stop the conflict and find connection. If you struggle to communicate with your partner, don’t really feel heard or seen, wonder why your partner can incite such big and intense emotions in you, or feel more connected to other people in your life than to your partner, I would love to support. If you think “If only my partner would…then we could be happy” or “We used to be able to work things out, but now we get angry over the smallest, most insignificant things. It’s exhausting.” or “How did we get HERE?”, then you are in the right place.

Have you been feeling stuck or limited? Do you believe that you will never feel loved or appreciated? Do you feel that no matter what you do the outcomes are always the same? Or no matter how hard you try you will never be good enough and fail? Well it is not a coincidence. We create negative beliefs and meanings (from our childhood) about ourselves to create these issues. Have you ever said to yourself over and over again "I'll never find love?" or "I'll probably fail" Well, they are not true, but you made it your reality through habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

It takes courage to find out who we are, what we need, and be willing to look at the different parts of ourselves to process and heal. I have always been drawn to the psyche (soul) and transpersonal psychology to capture each person's unique human experience. I provide a supportive and safe space, especially when working through vulnerable and painful aspects of life.

My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.
