In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

I offer effective psychotherapy that gets to the heart of the matter. I specialize in working with men who are looking for a new beginning. I also work with women impacted negatively by men they care about. I have been helping clients for over twenty years and draw upon both science and the deepest Christian tradition.

People say my style is different from other counselors. "He's not the kind of counselor who just sits back and says uh-huh every few minutes." I am not shy about giving feedback and responding to my clients. Counseling is a relationship and I strive to create an engaging and healing dialogue from the beginning. Whatever your issue is, if it's not getting better with what you have been doing so far, now is the time to seek assistance. Call me to discuss your concerns and we can decide if I am the right resource for you.

When you consider your life, think in terms of possibility, rather than limitations. Effective counseling should provide a steady progression from confusion, uncertainty, and wounding toward healing, health and well-being. To offer this kind of therapy, I fine-tune my ear to your individual needs and your situation. Your solutions must fit with your principles and values. Simply put, I see no point in offering cookie-cutter answers. As a member of Your Team, I will help you uncover both creative and plausible solutions to seemingly impossible problems.

"What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim. Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!" (Alfred Adler) THERAPY to me is Thoughtful, Hopeful, Empathetic, Restoring, Affirming, Powerful, and something You CAN do!

I am an LCPC and RN. My therapy approach focuses on the body. The school of thought I practice from believes that when first faced with an overwhelming event, if unresolved, our body can hold onto the sensations of that initial reaction. A similar threat can recreate those physical sensations. Your body will then influence your emotions and beliefs as if you were back in that original moment. It's those times when your mind is telling you one thing, but your body is telling you something very different; I feel nervous but I don't know why. Somatic techniques can help link these making room for new insights and resolve.

Are you struggling with PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, addiction, or depression? These problems could have underlying roots in trauma or intense stress. Trauma comes in many forms; abuse, accidents, surgery, neglect, war, etc. Each of these events uniquely impacts the nervous system. Recovery from these experiences could help resolve or manage symptoms. My goal is to help empower you to experience healing. We can't change situations of the past, but we can, together, become unstuck from the automatic responses of the body/mind. Somatic Experiencing (SE) may help you have more fulfilling and meaningful life.

My practice has been built on my unique ability to connect with clients and to quickly understand the necessary steps to take for symptom relief. I take a collaborative approach - meaning I believe people intrinsically know where they need to go, even as they realize the need for guidance on just how to get there. We partner together in order to achieve relief from depression, anxiety, divorce, PTSD, and relational issues with spouse/significant other, children and families. I also deal with spiritual issues in an effort to achieve more peace with self and God.

It is a courageous act to seek out healing in the form of psychotherapy and allow someone to witness the journey. I honor whatever brought you to the place of looking for a therapist that will fit your needs, and I welcome the parts of you that may feel unsure of the process or resistant. As a trauma therapist, my focus is understanding the body and mind and how they act on our behalf to navigate relationships and the world. Trauma work is about finding more flexibility and ease in that process. My goal with clients is to build a trusting relationship in an environment where exploring these dynamics feels accessible.
