Life is constantly changing & pressing on us, leading to stress, and calling for our growth. Rather than looking for acceptance or healing from others, it's important to look inward. This understanding of who we are & how we operate eases stress & peaceful life transitions. Science verifies that changing our thinking, feeling & behaviors improves the quality of our life. I specialize in connecting people deeply with themselves, decreasing suffering from anxiety, depression, family/relational conflict, grief, chronic pain, panic attacks, low self-esteem and work/school burdens.

Counseling for individuals, couples and families with an emphasis on healing and strengthening interpersonal relationships using Biblical values and Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, and Communication theoretical strategies.

"Hi, my name is Andy and I know it's tough to struggle with the pain and stigma attached to substance abuse. It doesn't seem fair that other chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes or heart disease don't have the shame and stigma attached to them that alcoholism does. Dealing with any substance abuse is difficult enough not to have to also think of yourself as a bad person because I have this illness. I have worked with many people to help them find solid and sustained sobriety. I'm here to be your companion on that journey.

What is in your way? How can you get past stuck feelings and your personal history to be present and do well today? Your thoughts can become your behaviors. Use logic and truth to see your power and choices. Then, thrive. Behavioral oriented. Cognitive aware, solution oriented.

Would you like to do things differently to have a healthier lifestyle but feel like you just can't make the changes needed to feel better? While changing habits can seem like a daunting task, the good news is change is possible. Research on the brain tells us we can change our thoughts, behaviors and habits throughout our entire lifetime. But change takes time and practice requiring effective methods, good strategies, planning and support to be successful. .

My practice is oriented towards helping people connect with their innate wisdom and emotional intelligence to discover within themselves the means to reach more integrated, satisfying and productive lives. I work with older teenagers, adults (individuals and couples), and seniors who suffer from depression, anxiety, loss or grief, relationship conflicts, emotional adjustment, and from conditions related to mood, personality and thinking.

You may be considering marriage counseling, or help for yourself or other relationships. You may be feeling frustrated with your child or teen, extended family, or coworkers. Perhaps you are transitioning: marriage, parenthood, or pre/post deployment, divorce or remarriage. You may be noticing relationship effects of recent or past traumatic stress or grieving a loss. Many people find themselves affected by medical issues for themselves or close relatives. Healthy relationships start with self-understanding, enabling you to know yourself so that you can hear and be heard in relationships with others who are important in your life.

What if you could experience peace amidst your circumstances? If you're reading here, you have already taken a huge first step in taking charge of your self-care!

NOW ACCEPTINING NEW CLIENTS! I work with people of all ages but I specialize in working with children, adolescents & families. Some areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, mood disorders & emotional disturbances, self-harm behaviors, anger, eating disorders, self-esteem, social skills, abuse & trauma, ADHD, school difficulties & behavior problems, family relationship issues & adjustment problems. I am extensively trained in and use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based interventions.

Human behavior is complex. You search to solve your relational, family or mental health concerns and problems in one way or another. Some steps taken work better than others. My counseling work is designed around a study of the issues on your mind that concern you or others you care about. Together, we discover better, more balanced ways of addressing your concerns. You can feel better and in turn, be in better control of your life and the decisions you make.

I believe that clients essentially want change: there is some kind of disruption deep down going on that can sometimes feel overwhelming. I can help clients identify that disruption and help find resolution.

After working with individuals, couples, and families for over thirty years I have come to two conclusions. At the root of many problems is a relationship that is or was broken. Secondly, most of us have developed unhealthy coping strategies to deal with the challenges we faced growing up. Those behaviors cause conflict in our most important relationships today. Understanding how these behaviors get in the way and learning new skills will help us achieve our goals. Change is possible!

My role as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can develop a deep and trusting relationship to navigate challenging times and facilitate healing. Most people begin this work due to suffering brought on by difficult emotions, troublesome relationships, overwhelming experiences or loss of a loved one. I aim to clearly understand and personalize our work to meet your unique situation and needs. Our work together is about finding the relief, healing and harmony you are seeking.

Currently accepting new clients for adolescents, adults, marriage, and family therapy! Many experience unique emotional challenges that require a special treatment approach. I have years of experience working with adolescents and adults, helping them navigate through the turbulent times in life. Learn effective coping skills to reduce depression, fluctuating moods and anxiety, as well as interpersonal issues and poor self-esteem. EMDR for PTSD and trauma based clients. It's always a good time to improve your quality of life!

NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED. We will resolve what troubles you in a comfortable way. At your speed. We will address your specific issues. I will listen to what you want, but not just listen. I will show you options and give you tools. We will focus on the "Where you are?" "What do you want or need to change?" The future you want. Individuals and couples can get help quickly. You will feel at ease talking about where you are in life and your desired future. I can offer help with Communication, Relationships, Stay or Go, Anxiety, Sadness, Grief, Work, Sexuality and Life Style, etc. through Cognitive Behavior Therapy and other proven methods.

I can help you. I'm always available to answer any questions you may have or to provide you with more information, so please feel free to reach out to me.

I am passionate about living the best life we can! Whether you meet me here, on my website, in a therapy session, or in a workshop or group, my vision is about empowerment for all. I believe we are deserving of a beautiful life, and I, or one of the other therapists in my practice, would welcome the opportunity to work with you to achieve yours.

"I can't believe this is happening." Sound familiar? Did you catch your spouse cheating on you? Betrayal, fear, shame, anger, rage, sadness, hyper-vigilance and a host of other intense emotions are consuming your life. Maybe your spouse hasn't cheated on you. Maybe you have drifted apart and you feel like roommates. Is your spouse distracted, spending hours on the computer or clinging to the phone? Do you feel emotionally, physically and spiritually cut off? Have you caught your spouse watching porn? Often times, porn is a major contributor in intimacy disorders and sex addictions. Don't give up, there is hope!

With an integrative counseling model, I help clients align mind, body, and spirit for healing, especially when doctors can't find causes for physical pain or traumatic experience. Together we find your unique healing path using a variety of approaches that relax, empower you in self-care, increase tolerance towards stress and change, which everyone encounters in this society. Clients have reported regaining their inner and higher loving guidance with more purposeful direction in life. Support groups (cancer & healthcare professional), stress reduction classes, and weekly Saturday Mindfulness practice group also available.
