My Approach to Helping
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who loves to work with couples, individuals, and families. I have had great successes helping couples to overcome communication issues, problems in understanding why marriage isn't working, and even infidelity. If you are an individual hoping to find help with depression or anxiety, we will work together to make a difference in your life! I focus on your worldview and approach counseling from your perspective so that although I am a Christian, your understanding of the world is where we begin.
I generally work with Solution-Focused Therapy and CBT methods. Solution-Focused therapy brings the client into the therapy as an expert, because no one knows your life like you do. We work together collaboratively to find solutions to your situation whatever that may be. CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a proven, tried and true way of helping you to change the way you feel by changing the way you think. It is exciting to see a person move from anxiety and fear to confidence and contentment! I enjoy the work and get great satisfaction from seeing people have more pleasure in life and more joy in daily living. Let's work together to make your life better!
More Info About My Practice
I do primarily online counseling. I find that people get used to it quickly and that it is more comfortable for them and less invasive. You don't have to go into an office somewhere and feel as though those you meet in the waiting area are wondering what's wrong with you. Your privacy is completely yours and it is as if I come to your

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
It is important to choose a therapist that you like, identify with, and feel a connection to because those qualities are what makes therapy work. If you trust and believe in your therapist, and feel that connection with them, you can make a huge difference in your life!
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
I have survived the death of a spouse and gone on to have a loving relationship with a beautiful woman. She and I are very happy in our marriage, having been together for over a year. This and many other trials in life have taught me to understand the fragility of this life and the temporal nature of relationships unless effort is made to keep them. I have learned that God has answers and direction for our lives that is not available anywhere but the Bible.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
I regret that I did not have therapy when I was younger. It may have drastically changed the course of my life. Instead I wandered through life and eventually found my beautiful wife, whose encouragement and help made all the difference in who I have become. She is an inspiration to me!
The thing is... if we all got counseling from time to time, we would benefit from another person's perspective and might avoid traveling through life with no direction. I look back on my own life and wish I had spoken to someone at times along the way.
