My style of counseling deals with using tools and skills I’ve found along the way that help couples, people with addictions, deep depression, and young folk. The most wonderful feeling is watching others learn tools that empower them to grow where they can heal and recover from their concerns. My main goal is working myself out of a job where the satisfied client will tell others about their journey with me.

Couples yearn to be heard and understood.

Drugs and alcohol, is this too painful to endure?

Depression – looking forward to finding your sunny self?

Are you spending sleepless nights thinking about your children?

Giving You Tools To Help You Find Your Way Back...

The focus of my practice is helping couples with Relationship Issues ~ Special Emphasis in working with couples where one or both are struggling with Depression and/or Chemical Dependency with Drugs and/or Alcohol.

Couples Counseling:
Most couples come in when they are really in trouble and are usually eager to begin growing closer to each other. Typically, I hear, “We need to learn to communicate!” I like to give them tools I call 'Connectors' that allow them ways to enhance both individuals. Money, sex, and children are what I refer to as the big three concern areas that are underlying focal points for couples.
Some people say to me, “How can you stand it hearing people complain to you all day?” I look at this a bit different. I love to watch an angry, terrified or bitter couple grow until they work me out of a job and move on and live a long happy married life..

Depression:
Mild, moderate or sever depression hurts. I’ve never heard anyone who is or has been depressed say it was no big deal or it was fun. When someone comes to my office depressed/sad or down, we discuss things they can do. Depressed people rarely feel like doing anything. They usually end up staying in bed, locked in their house, or staring at the television. When they learn there are countless ways to help their depression and they are in control, they get a heavy dose of hope.

Drugs and Alcohol:
I usually get a call from a loved one of an alcoholic or addict. They are usually desperate for relief from the craziness that drugs inflict in their lives.
I have been a drug/alcohol counselor and director of three outpatient clinics. I enjoy helping young and old alike learn tools to assist them in their recovery and reconnection with loved ones, place of employment, and possibly health issues. Categories:   Counseling
