Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Michigan. I have been married 26 years and have two kids. I have a Master’s in Theology and Counseling and have been practicing for 15 years. I help couples struggling with their marriage and adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression (especially trauma-based). I also help men struggling with porn addiction.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with couples for the past 15 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook (found in my book on Amazon entitled, “Compromise: One of the Fastest Ways to Ruin Your Marriage”) for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. I have experienced the horrible results from trauma in my own life and have also experienced the freedom from it through a trauma therapy called EMDR, which I utilize in my sessions.
This is more of a value than anything. In order to heal, honesty and acceptance of myself and my situation is crucial for change.
I use attachment-based treatment in teaching couples how to establish a safe place to communicate with one another. I also use this in trauma therapy where attachment styles are part of the issue.
This is a basic treatment used in every form of therapy I use. Challenging thinking and actions is part of the change process.
See my book on Amazon, “Compromise: One of the Fastest Ways to Ruin Your Marriage,” for my couples treatment plan.
I use EMDR, the most scientifically proven treatment to treat trauma.
