Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Tucson, Arizona. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Brigham Young University and have been practicing for 25 years. While my focus has been working with adolescents, I also have extensive experience with all ages of adults. I bring a conservative and compassionate approach to the therapy session. You and your time is valuable and I want to respect that. Clients consistently give me excellent ratings and see marked improvement in their lives.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then I will listen to your story. I will seek to understand your perspective. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions where I will introduce you to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), make goals, and work with you toward a brighter future. I want you to improve quickly in the fewest sessions possible.
Having worked with adolescents for over 25 years as a therapist as a sports coach and as a high school counselor, I've developed insight and a skill set to help (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with adolescents suffering from anxiety, depression, or addiction, among other issues. I find that I can help most patients in a relatively short time. I also counsel all adult ages for the same issues among others.

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat a wide range of problems with a large degree of success. My CBT treatments may involve breathing exercises and a focus on mindfulness. Patients are required to make goals and do some work outside of the session. A commitment to some homework is an expectation and required for success.
At clients request I am comfortable incorporating Christian principles, scriptures and faith in Christ as part of the treatment approach.
