Bio

     You wish that thing that happened when you were a child/soldier/first responder/partner/friend would stop creating problems in your “now,” but it won't. You know trauma, shame, anxiety, addiction, guilt, and depression suck because one or more of these open, infected, invisible wounds are your constant, unwanted companions. They get in the way of the life you want for you and those you love. I create and guard the safe, supportive, judgement-free space where you can say anything...and be accepted. Discuss and make any decision....and be supported. You & this Preacher’s Kid / Actor / Homeless / Soldier / Veteran / Businessman: now Therapist.

     In my 50s, I began to ask myself, "But are you making a difference in the world?” I realized I could offer a place where we can work on your invisible injuries with the same passion doctors and nurses bring to our visible health. And it began to draw all kinds of people to this surprising, middle-aged cisgender, Caucasian guy…because they get results.

     We all have a primal need to be heard, valued, and listened to. To have our thoughts, feelings, and ideas taken seriously. Most of us don't have someone who can do that without telling us what to do or not do, saying things like, "If I were you..." because they're not. I'm not you either but the difference is, I know that's a good thing: and you will too.

     Our society lies. Invisible psychological, emotional, & behavioral wounds aren't rare or shameful. Begin the healing. It's not that you won't let go of the trauma. It's that the trauma won't let go of you. Until now. 

     My father taught me to always be "The pipe not the source," so no advice, no "shoulding" on yourself. A real, criticism-judg ment-free conversation guaranteed to be all about you. Bring anything and everything you long to shine a light on so it loses its control over your mind, emotions, and behavior. You deserve better: we all do.

Life is difficult--at times even overwhelming. You do not have to do it alone, but sometimes life situations prevent connecting in the ways you would like. We each have a unique story filled with highlights and lowlights. At times, you may find yourself creating ruts or being stuck in the trenches, only to find yourself there with a lack of hope. Let's find a path out of these ruts together by creating a more complete story allowing you to live most fully in the present.

I utilize empirically based models in therapy including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) for distressed couples, EMDR therapy for trauma and adverse life experience resolution, and 12-step based counseling for Addictions.

I believe, at the root of our existence, we have been created to be known and to live in community. I view therapy as a process we enter and grow together, to achieve a common goal aligned with the ones you were created to be. Finding the counselor best for you is important.

Let me help you heal and grow. Life presents us as individuals, or couples, with many ongoing challenges; careers, raising children, medical issues, trauma, grief. These may all add up to emotional stressors that make it difficult to simply function as human beings. When we become unaware of our emotional state and ignore caring for ourselves, emotionally, physically, spiritually, we may become stuck and are unable to function at a level that is our best selves.

Waitlist for new clients

I have extensive training and experience with trauma, grief, loss, and substance abuse.

11 years working as a licensed therapist. Over 20 years experience in the therapeutic field. Being in therapy can be a powerful tool that facilitates perspective, personal insight, and healing. If you are focused on healing and/or seeking personal growth then let's work together. You may be feeling stuck or going through a transition in life in which you need some support and/or guidance. Many of us have a hard time asking for help. Fear, anxiety, shame or needing to be self-sufficient are some feelings that can limit us from recognizing when we need or want support. Sometimes taking the first step can be the most difficult.
