I believe in traditional marriage. I am blessed to have been married to my wife since 1965. We know what it's like to have marriage problems and to work through those problems.

I am also a Court Approved Counselor who works with individuals who have been court ordered for anger management counseling. I also work with individuals who are not court mandated but who want to work on their anger issues. I look forward to speaking with you about your specific needs.
