As a Christian psychologist with over 40 years in practice I try to combine Biblical principals with sound psychological research and clinical experience. My focus is working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, guilt, worry, fear, anger, or trust issues as well as with couples dealing with affairs, communication issues, issues with being together or parenting issues. I work with adults over the age of 18 only or children if accompanied by a parent. My practice is limited to only taking only a few people at a time so we can concentrate on their specific and unique issues and concerns.

We accept many insurance companies, medicaid and medicare.
I have been involved in therapy for almost twenty years working in areas of criminal justice, social services, mental health, welfare and addiction treatment. I have enjoyed working with all age clients-each having different challenges. Although I enjoy working with all clients, areas of specialization: Adolescent behavioral issues, gambling and addictive behaviors, family and marriage counseling. I encourge clients to work on two main objectives: Self Empowerment and Acceptance of who they choose to be. I do not judge a person because of their concerns, I try to help them learn the tools to avoid future problems.

I spent my four years of practice helping those with addictions, in a faith-based rehabilitation program to heal from trauma, and manage their anxiety, depression and other problems to make positive changes.
Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and taking that first step. A little about me: I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Writing Exposure Therapy (WET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals, and have utilized Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for couples. If you prefer a Biblical approach, I am comfortable with Christian counseling as well. Finally, if you have experienced a trauma that you need help in healing, yet do not wish to talk about it in deep detail, ART and WET can be utilized to minimize the re-telling of your painful history. Whatever it is that brought you here, I'd be honored to help.

Emotions can be confusing, relationships can be messy, and past experiences can negatively impact our present lives, but with proper coping strategies, we don’t have to remain stuck in maladaptive patterns. Change can be scary and people often remain frozen due to the fear of the unknown. Change and acceptance are two concepts that are diametrically opposed but with the right mind set they can actually work hand-in-hand in order to promote growth and healing.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you. I can also discuss Racial Trauma focusing on past and continuing experiences of prejudice, being marginalized, experiences of racist attacks (physical and/or psychological) in person or vicarious (i.e. through the media). Being bullied and trying to navigate a toxic work environment is increasingly a challenge where clients need strategies and tactics to protect their emotional well-being.

Surviving instead of thriving? Are feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, or a general lack of meaning and purpose stealing your joy? Are past hurts, future uncertainties, or difficult relationships distracting you from enjoying life? You are not alone, and help is available. It is easy to let weeks and months go by as long as we are functioning adequately. Yet gaining a better understanding of why you think, feel, and act the way you do can replace guilt with curiosity and empower you to live with more confidence, intentionality, and freedom.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
