I am a licensed clinical pastoral counselor, and, certified alcohol and drug counselor who has a passion for the family. Because the marriage relationship is one of the most important and satisfying relationships we will have, my goal is to help couples to: identify their strengths, and to build new ones; acquire communication and conflict resolution skills; help them to identify stumbling blocks, and then, help them to turn their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. My experience includes forty plus years of marriage and over twenty years of helping couples discover who they are as individuals, and who they are as a couple.
All too often, substance abuse and addiction has played a large role in the impairment and breakdown of the family, and its individual members. I assist individuals, and families affected by substance abuse and addiction to seek recovery & find freedom to live life fully without substance use.
It is my goal to help people to cope more effectively with family problems, social problems, and with inner-conflicts that can cripple the emotions, and to assist individuals to resolve interpersonal tensions, relate effectively to others, and assist persons whose life patterns are self-defeating and causing unhappiness.
