My forte is a faith based marriage/family counseling process with emphasis upon a systems perspective of family dynamics. I am a LCSW certified in NLP with an MBA. This blend of education and experience allows me to offer a strong theoretical support and life experience to my clients who are seeking to improve their family as well as their personal development/growth. I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic processes that include but not limited to RT (Reality Therapy) CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) SFT (Solution-Focused Therapy) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

It takes courage to seek help. I help individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, grief, loss, alcohol/substance use, and relationship issues. There are times in life when the circumstances you're faced with can feel overwhelming. Talking it out can help you feel supported while gaining a better understanding of the steps you want to take. I help client's learn coping skills to manage their feelings of hopelessness, fear, and uncertainty. I work to empower my client's life by providing reassurance, hope, resources and options to address the reason they're in therapy. YOU are not alone. HELP is here when YOU are ready.

Has anxiety and productivity become a lifestyle? Despite all you've achieved, do you still hold insecurities other's can't see. Does fear of rejection and failure burden you with worry and keep you doubting yourself? With all the inner chatter, relationships feel stressful and often leave you feeling disappointed, empty and alone. You're overwhelmed with trying to meet everyone's expectations, including your own. So you stuff those feelings to avoid opening the floodgate of emotions. I get it. I help people feel more grounded, clear, and confident, so they can live and work without feeling so weighed down or out of control.

My clients come into therapy seeking relief from years of suffering from anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, hopelessness, & emptiness. They carry these pains like thorns in their sides, reacting harshly to external events that brush against them. They change relationships, jobs, & cities, but these pains keeps following them. Despite their attempts to avoid feeling them by distracting themselves with relationships, affairs, alcohol/drugs/gambling, professional pursuits, and other external targets, the thorns & pains remain. They find relief by removing thorns from within, relieving long-term pain and suffering.

I specialize in Trauma, Anxiety, mind/body work, and Couples Counseling. I have a passion for a mind-body-spirit approach to mental health care as anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal stress have a great impact on all three. Two quotes that help explain my approach to Counseling are Carl Jung’s famous quote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” and a quote by Paul Batalden; “Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets.” We function within many systems in our lives and one of the most important systems is our internal one.

Self acceptance, insight and change. Those are the three main goals of therapy. I first have to accept where I am and who I am in life. Second I need to develop an understanding of how am I am contributing to these repeated patterns or am I being resistant to taking ownership, and lastly doing something different, even if it is scary or uncomfortable.

if you are struggling in your relationships, I'm here for you. I believe that part of the meaning of life is to love and be loved, and when we aren't able to experience this fully, we suffer.

My goal is to help you become more aware of why you do what you do, so that you have the freedom to make new decisions for your future. I want you to have the freedom to experience the intimacy and love we're designed for.

I specialize in working with men struggling with an unhealthy relationship with themselves and others leading to disconnect, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self esteem and a host of other issues. Stated by Thoreau, “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.” This doesn't have to be you, feel better, love better, perform better and enjoy more. Consistent with this I also work with couples to help reestablish the connection that is struggling or feels lost.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
