Change your mind, change your life. I think everyone should be in therapy and I think you should be in therapy with me.

They may have been struggling for days, weeks, months or even years but when they find the courage to reach out, pick up the phone and give me a call I can and will help you. Together we will find a way through the internal and external jungle that has prevented you from finding your way and succeeding, thriving in the past. Whether it is trauma, depression, mania or family dysfunction we will process our way through and we will find a way, YOU are NOT alone.

I am committed to providing a sanctuary for healing and restoration where clinical excellence meets compassionate care. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness that acknowledges the entire person — body, mind, and spirit. My practice is dedicated to offering the highest standards of pharmacotherapy and clinical medicine, harmoniously integrated with pastoral counseling, to support not just the alleviation of symptoms but the pursuit of wholeness and well-being. We are guided by the scriptural truth that every individual is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), deserving care that honors the intricate design of the human constitution. In alignment with biblical wisdom, we advocate for a therapeutic approach that is patient-centered, as we hold fast to the teaching that each person is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), warranting respect and dignity in every aspect of care. As a pastoral counselor, I aim to embody these qualities, creating an environment of empathy and understanding. Pastoral care counseling instills hope, grounded in the transformative power of faith.

You are looking at potential therapist's profiles...Why? Perhaps your life is not going the way you thought it would? Because none of us have received the perfect love we were designed for, we are all wounded and even traumatized to some degree. That trauma plays out in how we choose to relate to others. We did the best we could at the time, but now we can choose a different way, maybe a better way, to live and to love. Would you allow me to listen to your story, identify how you've been harmed, how you've chosen to deal with the harm, and help you find better ways to deal, and therefore, to live.

Let’s heal and enjoy this life! Hundreds of my clients in both residential settings and in private practice have experienced lasting, positive change as a result of a combination of EMDR and non traditional psychotherapy. EMDR is a powerful psychotherapy approach that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress including trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, persistent negative thoughts, depression and post traumatic stress. The EMDR technique allows clients to quickly and efficiently reprocess memories resulting in improved thought processing and emotional well being.

My passion is helping clients discover their best selves. If you've been struggling to feel like the old you, trying to figure out who you are after a major life transition, trying to slow your mind down, or coming out of a dark place, I would love to help you do that. I want to help you discover tools and infrastructure for success.

Graduating from Loyola University with a Master's degree in Theology and Marriage and Family, I focus on individuals impacted by addiction, infidelity, relational crisis and trauma. I have been a Program Director in a jail offering substance abuse treatment and a CEO and Clinical Director of a domestic violence center.

I sincerely believe in and support long term recovery from addiction and trauma. Both my husband and I embrace a sober lifestyle.

Being in long-term recovery, he has advanced his education to include a Bachelor of Social Work and a master's in social work.

Robert is also trained to provide EMDR therapy for single event and complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Life’s challenges come from various situations like marriage, childbirth, graduation, sports, school, relocation, new jobs, or divorce. There are also life development changes like going from child to teen, teen to adult, adult to senior, end of life issues, death, spiritual and religious struggles, and bereavement. These experiences can cause emotional and mental struggles- anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger, grief, trauma, and other issues that interfere with daily functioning. Jerome creates a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients can comfortably share their issues, challenges and difficulties.

My ideal clients are those who identify as LGBTQIA+ but especially transgender, (nonbinary, or gender expansive) or those who seek to better understand and support an LGBTQIA+ loved one. I operate from a systems perspective and believe that familial affirmation is key to the mental health and well-being of any LGBTQIA+ individual but especially so in the case of adolescents. I am comfortable addressing religion-based questions and concerns. I am available for individual, family, and group counseling as well as for community education and am able to provide any necessary letters of support for medical transition.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I have over 18 years of professional experience assisting individuals to overcome life difficulties. I have experience working with children, adolescents & adults. My goal as your counselor is to be a guide and mentor to help you find solutions to problems you encounter in life. My clients can expect a warm, genuine, professional relationship and are expected to play an active role in the therapeutic process. While I have experience working with a range of issues, from trauma and loss to self esteem and life transitions, my specialty areas are anxiety and trauma related issues.

Do you ever find it difficult to express how you feel or communicate what you’re thinking? Have you ever thought that those around you don’t fully understand what you’re experiencing or what you have experienced? I am here to help you explore and unpack any areas of your life that you find challenging, confusing, or overwhelming.

Each of us is on a journey, and sometimes this journey can become quite stressful. At times we need someone on the outside looking in, to help us gain perspective and to encourage us toward healthy change. I have a passion to walk alongside others in their journeys to offer hope and help in healing. My Christian perspective and person-centered approach allows me to value each person as a fellow Image-bearer. I strive to create a safe environment, holding strongly to a non-judgmental stance, so that clients may feel accepted for who they are.
