Is there something in your life you would like to be different? Have you tried to make changes only to find yourself in the same painful situations and doing the same things? Are you discouraged and don't know what to do? While making changes can be very difficult, the good news is you can live life differently! I teach individuals and couples tools so they can achieve their goals. With 11 years of experience as a police officer, I have a real-world understanding of issues people commonly face.
Many of us were not taught how to manage our emotions in helpful ways. I teach people tools to understand what their emotions are trying to tell them and how to use this important information to manage their emotions in helpful ways.
I specialize in helping clients who are having problems because of their use of drugs or alcohol. My clients determine their own goals, whether that be moderation or abstinence. If you are looking for an alternative to 12-step approaches, take an important step toward your goals...by calling today!

I begin counseling by helping clients identify their goals. I am then active and directive with my clients to help them reach their goals. I prepare for each session, and I go into my sessions with a plan for what I believe will be helpful for the client to work on to accomplish their goals. I believe therapists have a responsibility to be proactive instead of just being a "good listener".
