All of us, at some point in our lives, are going to experience a significant emotional struggle. Whether individual or relational, we all encounter sometimes brief, sometimes longer, periods where our struggle may begin to feel overwhelming. My practice is founded on treating clients with a comprehensive psychosocial approach. Most individuals realize medication can temporarily retard the progress of symptoms through symptom reduction. Alone, medication cannot resolve the personal issues associated with long term increases in quality of life. I believe my best professional strengths are an abiding respect for the individual coming into my office, and a reliable resource to explore, educate and inform persons about critical life issues.

I love what I do.... I am grateful to have lived and worked with my wife these past 35 years. Together we have built a practice based on mutual respect and integrity. So it is no surprise, this is how we encourage individuals and couples to treat others in their life. I work with adolescents and adults, individuals and couples to heal hurts or find answers to confusing situations. Although we are very different in our approach, between us, my wife and I work with a wide variety of concerns. If you give us a call, I believe you will be pleased.

I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor, State of Oklahoma, (LPC) for the past 17 years. I own the outpatient counseling office Center for Positive Change, Inc. in Yukon. We are CARF accredited, accept most major insurance as well as Sooner Care. I particularly enjoy working with women and their unique issues and concerns. I also have worked with children and families involved in special family situations, i.e., grief, divorce and DHS. My agency employs a variety of licensed therapists to meet the diverse needs of this community.
