With compassion and understanding, I will help you find constructive ways to navigate difficult life experiences and relationships, including family conflict, divorce, custody disputes, and challenges in parenting.
Life can be challenging and it doesn't always turn out exactly as planned. This can be especially disappointing when we find ourselves struggling in our important relationships. In spite of the pain, I believe these seasons of challenge can become opportunities for growth and transformation.

Marriage issues include: improving communication, conflict resolution, emotional and physical intimacy, strengthening marriage after an affair and helping you through and after divorce.
Life is tough and no one teaches us how to do relationships or prepares us for the unending seasonal changes in and around us. I am a changed person myself and that's why I believe in the power of personal change. When you decide it is time to make those changes and take ownership of your future, there is hope for better things. I am also the father of four young adult children and enjoy supporting parents as they raise and launch their children. I will be honored if you allow me to accompany you on this journey.

Very early on in my youth, I found that all I wanted to do in this life was help others. Now, as a psychotherapist, nothing brings me more joy than helping clients find healing and feel more at peace in their minds, bodies, relationships, and life circumstances.

Tired of having what feels like the same arguments with your children or other loved ones, coworkers, or feeling unseen and unheard. Have a wound from the past that is not quite healed and impacting your relationships today? These are just some of the things that can rob you of your joy and peace, be it in moments or larger ongoing ways.

In Genesis 6-8, there was a great flood. The earth was covered with water and it seemed like all hope was lost. Then Noah sent out a dove to search for new life. That dove returned with an olive branch. That olive branch signified rebirth, new hope, new life. This is why I named my practice, Olive Branch Therapy. To remind you that there is an olive branch in your future. There is hope for you. Hope in your pain, hope in your struggle. I will hold out this hope for you until you can grasp your own olive branch once again.

I kept my office open during the COVID Crisis but when it ended people did not want to come to an office. I simi-retired & work through Zoom. I have lowered my fee to reflect the benefit of working online. While it is not my preferred way of working with clients, it allows me to continue to work. I left Saddleback Church where I was the Pastor of Pastoral Care for 17+years. I've been a licensed marriage & family counselor for 35+ years. I respect the fact that everyone needs to make a personal decision about their faith but I do approach therapy using Christian perspectives & values.

Mental health can be overwhelming and challenging to experience, especially alone. I focus on trauma and strenuous external factors which impact ones daily lives and/or current relationships. The most heartfelt part of therapy is working through the challenges, in order to successfully heal. Treatment focuses on learning how to challenge thoughts, feelings, and actions to become the better version of oneself.

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
