"A skilled listener can help people tap into their own wisdom" (Richard Rohr). I collaborate with you to help you build on the strengths you already possess. Replace distorted thoughts and perceptions with healthier behaviors and more stable emotions. You can live a more fulfilled life. I can help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years' experience, and I want to help you create your personal vision of your best self.
Whatever kind of counseling you need—individual, couples, family—I have something for you. I can help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication skills, conflict resolution/anger management, domestic violence work, effective parenting, and mastering life skills. I specialize in couples and marriage counseling. If you want biblically-based Christian counseling, I am pleased to provide it (by request only).
I employ evidence-based approaches to therapy, including CBT and Motivational Interviewing, to provide favorable treatment outcomes. Most importantly, I partner with my clients to create confident, joyful, emotionally and spiritually-fulfilled lives.
On a personal note, I love my family. Dana, my wife of over 30 years, has always been a source of strength and support to me. I have two adult sons who have grown up to be responsible, fun-loving, good men. I am very blessed.
