I am entering my 48th year in the counseling field during which time there have been significant advances in our understanding of human behavior. One thing that has not changed however, is the importance of choosing an experienced therapist if you wish to make any "changes" in your life. Fortunately, there are some benefits that come with age and experience after seeing thousands of individuals and families since 1971. Give me a call and we can talk about your issue. I can probably help you.

Couples, Men, Veterans, and Families. I strive to make therapy a comfortable place where you can explore the deepest insights about yourself with compassion and empathy. Therapy becomes an experience and journey about who YOU are and where YOU want to go. Is something standing in the way? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns or plagued by underlying issues? Sometimes we feel frustrated and hurt by those we so want to feel close to. You are not alone in the possible fears that might come along with seeking help. It's vulnerable. It can feel scary. Let me take that step with you to Keep Moving Forward.
