I've been a counselor for over 40 years now. I try to strike a balance between listening, educating, and application. My practice is called Right Choices Counseling because most people coming for counseling are looking to make better choices with their life, moving forward.
My approach is eclectic, having had training in several different approaches (CBT, RT, etc.). I work primarily with relationship issues, men's issues and adjustment problems - doing both individual and couple's work. Over the years, I've written several books on dating, marriage, conflict resolution and moving past personal crises.
Rather than being weak, it takes courage and wisdom to get help when you need it - even better if you have the foresight to use counseling as prevention. Feel free to contact me with your questions, or to set up an initial appointment to see if this might be a good fit.

When it comes to couple's work, aside from initially gathering background information as to what brought the couple to counseling, my focus is tools-based. Rather than letting a couple just argue and get nowhere, it's more efficient to give them better tools to increase their odds of success. Past educating the couple, it's taking the time to then teach them how to better apply those tools.
