"I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years experience in treating relationship issues and mood disorders such as anger, depression and anxiety. My style is relaxed and supportive, and my attitude positive and non-judgmental.

My job is to help clients find the key that unlocks their inner strengths to understand themselves and interact more effectively with others."

"A traumatic experience can happen in moments, but its effects can last for years. Each person copes with the loss of safety and security in different ways. While it's difficult to accept and process, rather than judge your reactions to trauma, if you don't face them, they will keep coming back-often at the worst times. My goal is to help you process the trauma including the related memories and feelings, identify the triggers and cope with anxiety related to the past, build the confidence to trust yourself, and reestablishing your identity after trauma."

"Dr. Lance has 34 years of experience in the field. His graduate degrees are in counseling/marriage and family therapy and psychology. He also has an undergraduate degree in Religion. His major focus is in helping individuals and couples work through life-limiting patterns and blocks to greater happiness and fulfillment. It takes courage to look at our relationships and ourselves openly and honestly. Many of us avoid our emotional symptoms (anxiety, relationship problems, compulsions, etc.) hoping they will just go away. We often need someone to help us work through the patterns that we are unaware of in our lives."

"You can change. I believe this because over fifteen plus years as a therapist, I've been inspired by the work of my clients to overcome grief, trauma and abuse.

My years as a therapist have also taught me that when we go through a crisis, or a series of crises, our coping skills can get overwhelmed."
