Excellent training, years of experience, a demand for excellence, and a commitment to provide the best service possible make a difference in your therapeutic experience. Taking the first step toward getting help is often quite difficult and you are well worth the effort. Together we will embark on a joint venture to restore or develop optimal health.

Our goal is to identify the potential causes for your distress; educate you on the ways to address them, and provide you with the tools to maintain your health after therapy is completed. I also serve individuals who are not in crisis but are seeking personal and/or spiritual growth. At your request, we may integrate your Christian faith as part of your process. So, don’t hesitate. Call or email me now and lets begin your journey to bring “Meaning Back To Life.” I look forward to hearing from you.
