Dedicated to Serving You

"My commitment is to assist others to be the person they are meant to be, to live well, and succeed with their goals. We exerpience the things we do for a reason. Although the reason may not always be clear, the opportunities presented from these experience are significant. I believe part of my responsibility is to assist you in maximizing your experiences and help learn the lessons underlying the problems you are currently facing."

My Experience as a Therapist

"The six years I spend at Catholic Social Services working in the foster care system provided me with significant experience an education. I learned about the devastation of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Addiction frequently played a pervasive role in these trouble families. It is my belief the consequences of these experiences are significant and do not go away without focused attention through an empathetic counseling relationship.

At Community Resources and Counseling Center I worked on the sex abuse treatment team. There I enhanced my skill in treating the effects of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as anxiety, depression, co-dependency, and personality disorders.

At White Oaks, I learned how to treat addictions and co-existing emotional disorders. I created a state of the art dual diagnosis program. 'The Answers Are Within' is a book I wrote describing this program and highlights the unique spiritual issues of the individuals invovled in successful recovery of addiction and emotional issues. I believe the spiritual perspective can assist anyone in more fully addressing their life issues and creating a higher quality life experience."
