Hello folks, I am a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My wife Carolyn and I have lived in Lexington for 30 yrs since we moved to Kentucky from North Carolina in 1991. Carolyn and I have three children, Seth, Danielle, and Isaac. I have been a practicing counselor for over thirty years in a variety of clinical settings but mostly in private practice. I love helping people figure out where they are stuck, what they are overwhelmed by, and what they need to do to change; experienced, effective therapists make a difference.

Are you grappling with an array of daily pressures? As individuals, we frequently experience the burden of meeting high expectations both personally and professionally, with others relying on us for support. In the midst of a fast-paced environment, this constant demand can lead to exhaustion and stress. My objective is to create a supportive space where you can escape external pressures, explore strategies to manage your time effectively, enhance your emotional intelligence, and facilitate self-expression beyond the confines of daily expectations.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
