It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and clinical pastoral counselor, I work with individuals and couples to resolve common human problems. I believe you will benefit from clinical competence, experience and maturity gained from over forty years in practice, and will quickly realize I sincerely care about you. When you reach out to me, I will do my best to respond promptly, without your waiting too long for an appointment. Don't be surprised if I personally answer the phone.
Depression, anxiety and exhaustion can be a consequence of unresolved conflict, painful loss, overthinking, worrying, procrastinating, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, and care-taking. The focus of counseling will be on healthier self-care. Working with a seasoned therapist today can be an important step toward consistent happiness and fulfillment.
I can meet with you by live video telehealth anywhere in the state, five days per week, from 7:00am - 9:00pm. Telehealth allows me to stay close to my wife of over 40 years who is bed-bound due to complications from late stage multiple sclerosis. The assistance of professional caregivers frees me to pursue my life's work as a mental health counselor..

Over forty years of clinical experience and continuing education have provided me with a broad range of therapeutic techniques. However, I've learned simply to listen as a person tells me what's wrong and how to resolve it. I help you discover answers from within that you've not yet realized.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
