I guess I’m an “elder” at 64, but I relate well with tweens, teens, and adults. If you’re looking for a buddy, I’m pretty friendly and we can just sit and talk; but I’d much rather we roll up our sleeves and work side-by-side to improve your life and that of your family!
A Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am experienced in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Hypnotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), all of which can be done via secure video. I can help with conditions like Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Addictions, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, each of which is often related to past traumatic events.
A sex-positive counselor, I am a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, as well as the Secular Therapy Project. I do not “push” my values or beliefs and will respect yours. Most importantly, I will not judge you, and will provide accurate information on this sensitive topic.
A Master Addictions Counselor, I treat people as individuals and don’t automatically assume people having problems with alcohol, drugs, gambling, online gaming, sex, pornography, etc., are necessarily “addicted.” There are lots of other reasons people might have such difficulties.
A DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I am qualified to oversee substance abuse treatment of drivers, pilots, etc.

COMMENT: One advantage of having been in the counseling field since the early 1980s is I’ve had time to get lots of training and experience, from which I hope my clients and their families can benefit.
