I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. While I use a variety of approaches (including AEDP, Existential Theory, Attachment Theory, and CBT), ultimately I like to let our work together inform which approach suits our time best. I am knowledgeable about trauma-informed practice and bring a lot of my own life experiences into the sessions, through my work as a teacher, professional firefighter, and professionaI musician.

People seek psychological assessment for many reasons. Whether you’ve been referred for an evaluation by your doctor, therapist, or simply want to know more about yourself, I can help you throughout the process.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on various issues. Sometimes that work involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times, our work centered around longstanding topics of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. With years of both institutional and outpatient experience, I enjoy helping people move from a place they can no longer tolerate to one where they feel happier and more effective. I also provide clinical supervision for LPC residents.

I enjoy working with clients who are engaged in the treatment process and wanting to grow to build a lasting foundation for behavioral health recovery. Whether a person is internally or externally motivated for treatment, I believe that if a person wants to be helped, they can be helped. As a therapist, it is not my place to tell a person what he/she should or should not do. It is my responsibility to use my experience and training to help clients find their paths to personal growth and development to live lives filled with internal peace and commitment to personal values.

"Your emotional happiness and growth is determined not so much by what happens in life but by how you respond to what happens".

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you through an interactive and engaging partnership.

Individual or family conflicts, anxiety, depression, or other challenges getting you down and preventing you from thriving, optimally, I can help. There's room for all of us to be better, but we are also blessed with positive strengths. I'm flexible and person-centered so I'm open to using various approaches to improve individual or family functioning. However, CBT, Solution Focused therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based techniques are my preferences within the context of utilizing your own value system, including spiritual value system, to help you improve your quality of life and top priority goals.

My primary area of specialty involves psychotherapy for individuals with bipolar disorder. With regard to broader practice areas, my work includes issues such as depressive disorders, personality disorders, adjustment and transition issues (employment change, empty nesting, death of a loved one, divorce, geographic relocation, retirement, etc.), GLBT issues, and individuals dealing with adjustment to physical disability. I have been licensed as a psychologist and practicing for over 40+ years.

When we are in conflict, disconnection, or misunderstanding with a loved one, we all experience distress. Our protective strategies come alive- we shut down, criticize, go numb, or pursue for reconnection. We find ourselves in the same old dance, talking different relational languages we can’t seem to reconcile, having the same old fight. I help individuals, couples, and families talk about what is happening inside them, identify needs, and understand what is at the core of any recurring patterns. I make space for all the ways life has shaped each of you, how this impacts your interactions, and where the misses are taking place.

You don't feel like the man that you used to be. It was once different. Life felt a little easier. You were more sure of the path you were on. But now, you are questioning what you are doing with your life. You feel generally overwhelmed and exhausted, though you sleep like shit. That voice in your head just never shuts up. It feels like it plays on a continuous loop predicting every worst-case scenario imaginable. You try deep breathing and telling yourself that whatever you are worrying about is no big deal, but that does not change the fact that you feel so fucking stressed and anxious. Time is ticking and something has to give.

Frank is an LPC who has been practicing since 2020. He graduated from Capella University with a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. Previously Frank retired from a 40 year career in business/ finance. Frank believes that the goal for therapy, generally, is to help clients discover those resources that are already part of who they are- but that they are having difficulty accessing due to trauma, mental health challenges, or any variety of Life circumstances. He is EMDR certified and often works with clients with a focus on trauma events. He also specializes in working with clients in all sorts of life transitions.

My approach is gentle, and heartful. It is also good science, grounded in trainings devoted to strengthening the bonds with oneself, others, and the earth around us. What initially may seem stuck or unbearable is introduced to a source of health that is already within you. The opportunity in crisis, and the wisdom within torments, is something you will begin to notice. This noticing begins the discovery that we can, each of us, even within the most strained relationships, bring ourselves to an authentic, courageous stance. And ultimately toward an ever-deepening Love. Your experience of this forms the heart of what I offer.

I like to work with folks who do not know exactly what they need, but are needing something that is not likely to be relieved with psychotropic medications. Those have been tried, and do not work as desired. There are many who feel this way. Certainly, they may have significant depression, anxiety, worry, or all of these, but cannot say what causes those feelings. I may be able to help with Neurofeedback. I have done it for 30 yrs. and it works extremely well. I like to do "talk therapy" to help them recognize what may be going on within themselves, now or long ago. I also do "Reiki", Energy Medicine adjustments.
