I have been in private psychological practice for over 30 years specializing in Marital and Relational therapy, Family problem interventions, Adolescents, and in the treatment of Sexual and Substance Abuse, and family therapy related to these issues. I have a broad range of training and utilize multiple modalities in the course of assisting my clients toward growth and personal change. I also assist clients with value related questions and am helpful for those looking for a "Christian Therapist". Further, I have extensive experience in dealing with the issues of aging, serious health issue, terminal illness, and chronic pain.
My personal development has been enriched in serving as the Associate Director of a private community agency focused on adolescent treatment,family interventions, and worked nationally on resources and curricula on adolescent issues.In addition, I am a Consultant to Adult Day Health Care facilities serving Seniors with issues related to aging.
I think you will find in my counseling that I listen intently and my efforts to assist you to be warm, direct, utilizing a variety of approaches in resolving your personal and relational issues. I am comfortable assisting individuals, couples, and families in meeting the varied challenges and changes that come in life.
