Therapy is helpful whether you are going through a life transition or struggling to manage intense emotions for as long as you can remember. Therapy is a collaborative process and we can work together to help you find meaning, direction, passion, heal emotionally, and a sense of control over your life. I am here to help you learn better ways to cope with life's challenges, overcome standing barriers, and gain a greater perspective regarding your life challenges. I can help with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem building, communication skills, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, and more.

"I never thought my life would turn out like this....." Often these words are spoken with a numb disillusionment. Marriage, intimacy, money, sex, faith - it's all different from what we expected. Our time together helps you get your life back on track. I have a ministry of justice: giving back to people what was taken from them - strength, beauty, joy, romance - I fight for people who want more from their lives. My best clients love God, enjoy who they are, become madly in love with their mates, and know the value of their time with me.

Therapy is a courageous choice for improved emotional health and greater well-being. It takes courage to pay focused attention to our inner life and to learn to embrace who we really are underneath our symptoms, diagnoses, and fantasies. Lasting change occurs when we bravely face what we usually avoid. As an ISTDP oriented therapist, my clients take an active, truthful stance toward themselves so that they can bear the complexities of their life with greater degrees of self-acceptance and self-compassion. As this happens, previously unresolved emotions get resolved and anxiety and other symptoms begin to dissipate.

With curiosity and patience, I work to build a calming, safe environment for you to explore difficult or challenging topics. Once we have the foundation of a trusting relationship, therapy is an opportunity to build insight into how your experiences impact your choices and relationships. Together, we will work to bolster your existing strengths and identify your personal needs. In sessions, we will balance the need to process emotions with the need for take-home skills that you can apply in your daily life.

My philosophy is that every client deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe enough to consider new ways of approaching life's challenges.

At times we all struggle to find the words to express what we feel. Children, as well as adults, can find healing and resolution for issues such as anxiety, grief, parental divorce and life adjustments through play and art therapy. I desire for clients, of all ages, to feel seen, heard, and valued as they are encouraged to express themselves; verbally, visually, or both.

Although listening is vital, I'm not the kind of therapist who just sits back and silently nods for the whole session. I engage with clients to understand their lives better. Relationships exist in all our lives - whether they be love, work, friends, or family - but too often you could feel you are not getting what you want out of them. You might blame yourself. You feel like the common denominator, and that makes things feel worse inside. But among all of our relationships, the most important is the one we have with ourselves.

Life doesn't have to be as hard as you are making it. You think you are doing what you are suppose to do but things aren't working the way you thought it would. You're feeling frustrated, irritated and sometimes ready to give up/ You think you've tried everything to make things work but it seems you're getting the opposite of what you want. You are blaming yourself. You are blaming others. But still nothing is working and at this point you feel unhappy, unsupported and exhausted. Life and relationships are not working out and you are at a loss of what to do. You just want to know how to fix it and get more of what you truly want.

Will I ever stop hurting? Who am I? Can things get better? Does anyone understand me? These types of questions can be big, scary, and even paralyzing. My firm belief is that we are not made to struggle through our big questions and hard times alone, but rather to navigate them within relationships. Therapy is a space to connect with one supportive person in whatever challenges, pain, losses, or confusion you may be facing. I would be honored to be here for you in a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe in the importance of story – of your story – and I hold hope for the possibility of healing and growth.

When faced with traumatic events, the first reaction is often emotional such as with fear, anger or sadness. You may also feel it in your body, such as a knot in your stomach or tension in your throat. Many therapy styles prioritize the "top-down" approach, addressing the cognitive response, or "the thinking response", before the emotional and physical response. EMDR and my trauma-based methods adopt the "bottom-up" approach, examining the trauma that manifests through our feelings and physical sensations. From this approach comes healing, a new way of coping, and change that tackles the root of the issue.

I have heard it said that it only takes one therapist to change a light bulb, but the light bulb has to really want to change. Naturally, my best results are with motivated people who realize their current patterns aren't working and are willing to try something different. I have experience with adolescents, adults and mature adults. While my religious background is Christian, my clients come from all religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations. My intention is to walk the talk and my experience as a husband of 40 years, a father, and a grandfather, add to my therapeutic offering.
