Therapists in Palm Beach County, FL

My 30 years of sobriety coupled with my education and experience affords me a unique perspective counseling addicts and families. I trained at the Hanley Center and worked as the primary therapist in the men's unit there for 15 years. I left Hanley for private practice and also serve as clinical director of several South Florida drug and alcohol programs.

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." -Carlos Castenada. Our pain has an important message to give us if we just tune in to find out what it is and what we need to do in order to heal and grow from it. Do you have the same issues or circumstances come into your life over and over again? Our patterns are repeated until we learn to choose to react differently. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is when we keep doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result.

There are times in all our lives when it is appropriate to seek out experienced counsel, support and guidance.

I have been helping people develop more satisfying lives by arresting addictions, improving relationships and overcoming challenges to reach greater peace of mind.

I am most passionate to help entire families impacted by addiction; addicts and "adult children" in recovery seeking to rebuild their lives; persons seeking help in codependent relationships; premarital and marital couples seeking to enrich or restore their marriages; and overall persons who feel "stuck" in life and need assistance finding direction, excitement, and purpose. I have worked in the secular environment for my entire career. However, I am able to provide a biblical perspective for clients who desire such an orientation.

My focus is for my clients to grow in their journey and know they have an individual who will provide him or her the support and guidance needed to achieve mental health wellness.
