Do you identify as someone who wants to have more peace, energy, passion, or purpose in life? You are a dreamer but the follow through that's another story. You want to be healthier, have a better job, be a better partner parent. You know that changing your life starts with a decision. You want something different. Something needs to change. This decision is both the most exciting and the scariest choice you have to make. But if you don't make it you will lose hope. Fear and doubt will consume you.

If asked what brought me into this crazy field, two answers surface. First, I was exposed as a child to my father's special ed students, so-called problem kids. Then, I soon found myself one of those people! Adolescence brought anger, rejection, depression and anxiety. These experiences, along with getting three degrees in psychology, have helped me develop a compassion and passion for helping those struggling with life's issues. Although I never push faith,becoming a Christian has helped as well. After 25 years working with couples, mood, anxiety and personality problems, I am still liking my job!

I use the principles of Positive Psychology and Mindfulness to teach techniques that increase awareness and ability to control attention so that you can experience happiness and not be a slave to compulsive thinking. You will learn and experience living in a way that frees energy that is being spent on habitual regrets of the past and worries of the future. I can guide you through loneliness, isolation, emotional pain, grief, relationship distress and trauma.

I am here to help bring my clients into a place of greater freedom, hope and joy. Many get use to the way life is and think that life always has to be difficult, but the truth is the human race has the ability to persevere and overcome the most unexpected obstacles. Sometimes all we need is a little guidance, direction and hope to overcome. My goal is to impart love, joy, peace, empathy, compassion, understanding and strength into my clients. I am a natural teacher at heart and I have overcome so much in my past, that I can't help but help others to find hope in the area's of their lives that feel hopeless or lost.

I help males from teenage to older learn how to express their feelings in non-destructive ways and learn how to better understand the feelings they have. They learn how to feel good about themselves rather than compare themselves negatively to others. Therapy is not about being sick. It is about learning new skills to better manage what life throws our way. My clients see me more as a trusted confidant who cares about them than as a clinician looking at them through a microscope.
