Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I facilitate the spiritual, mental and emotional healing process through talk therapy. The focus of most of my adult life has been to be a skilled helper to people in need. As I moved through my theological training, I realized that, often, others needed deeper support than "church" alone could give. I pursued further education to become a clinical counselor to meet those needs. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including, outpatient community mental health, inpatient/outpatient substance abuse/addiction, sex offender therapy in the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, mental health professional in the Florida Department of Corrections, inpatient and day treatment of chronically mentally ill, and private practice. I believe my gift, in the counseling relationship, is that I help others see things for themselves. I also have a Christian world view which informs my interaction with others. I am a compassionate, non judgmental, "Wounded healer". Yes, I have had to negotiate life's struggles like anyone else. So, it is not just an academic exercise with me. I offer compassionate support while we work through your mental health issues including, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, fear, grief, loss, codependency, and self esteem issues.
In the intake session we work together to help you tell your story. It is more of a time to gather background information and begin the process of developing therapeutic trust and rapport. We will also discuss and clarify expectations of the therapeutic process.
Many of the mental health issues that I treat are things that I have had to work through in my own personal journey. I know what worked for me and I know that recovery and growth is doable. I did not learn all I know from textbooks. If I have a "super power" it is that of helping people see, understand, the issues and treatment modalities for themselves.
Male and female clients, 18 and older, who need help in, my specialty areas and/or Christian counseling. I work better with educated, professional clients as well as those who are in active recovery from substance abuse/dependence. I work best with those who are committed to applying action that is related to their valued outcomes. Those who are compelled to seek counseling are not the ideal fit for my counseling practice.
It is important to understand the relationship between thinking, emotions, and actions. The focus of the session is on arriving at an understanding the payoff for any given compulsive behavior. Once a client gains insight, coping strategies can be developed to assist the client in taking actions that are related to their valued outcomes.

He helped me overcome un 6 months what others failed to do in 25 years. He very very good. Infact, there really are no words, no phrases in the English language that can truly express how happy and content I have become while under his care and tutelage. A true Blessing from God!
