I believe our mutual job is to work together to help you find the best ways of dealing effectively with your problem. Sometimes, although we may know the answers to our problems, we have never been taught the skills to implement that knowledge. Part of my job is to use my expertise and education to teach those skills. For example, we may realize we are being misunderstood by others and work hard to be understood, but no matter how hard we try, nothing changes. Teaching communication skills is one of my areas of expertise that may prove useful.
My theoretical approach is eclectic, meaning I do not hold to one specific theory but use a variety of approaches and intervention techniques in my therapy. These include Rogerian (Person Centered), Cognitive/Behavioral, EMDR (for trauma and anxiety reduction) as well as a variety of others, depending on the situation we are working with. I have extensive training and experience in working with anger, anxiety, stress, and depression.
In addition to working with individuals concerning matters of personal growth and emotional development, I also assist individual adults and couples dealing with problems related to anxiety, anger, depression, stress, relationship issues and enhancing communication skills.
I am a retired law enforcement officer and a Vietnam Veteran.
