About me

"Help me." "I need to change..." These were two common statements from clients of all ages while I was in private practice for 11 years in Texas. I specialized in working with families with children and adolescents. I wrote books and spoke at seminars to help teens and their families. Now with over 20 years of experience my greatest satisfaction comes from helping clients with a wide array of issues focusing on making positive change happen.
Now, I am available online to help you change your life. My "prized" evening spots are limited to 16 (there's only one of me), but I do work 11am - 9:15pm during the week (offering 45-minute sessions only).
My diverse training allows us, together, to ascertain problems, develop goals, and set a realistic timeline for improvement. Each treatment plan is different for each client. My training as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Texas has allowed a deeper understanding of how you interact with those at home, at work, or at school. My "down-to-earth" conversations can even help your children or partner improve. My holistic approach can even incorporate your religious values.
Let's talk about how we can change your life.

Richard is a down to earth guy keeps the discussions light hearted but really makes you think about things and gives useful pointers and insights with how to handle things and explains them in a way you can understand in plain English. I would Recommend Richard to anyone needing some help getting through a tough spot

Rick is a great and understanding therapist. He is quick to ensure I stay on point instead of rambling and make the most of each session so I always walk away feeling better.

Richard has been a tremendous help with building my confidence and my spirits back up from a breakup. He knew exactly the right words to say and since I wanted a blend of Christian therapy and regular therapy, he did a great job providing me with those two types of therapy. I strongly recommend him for any struggles you may be going through.

I've only met with Richard twice, but he has made several suggestions about communication with my friends and family that have been beneficial.
