Is someone you love hurting you? Abuse can come in many forms, including physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, and spiritual. Often the victim falls prey to more than one--or even all.
Domestic abuse is something I have a real heart for, as my wife of over 20 years was a victim of horrendous abuse from her former husband. While I never acted as her hired counselor, I have helped her overcome the devastating results of her previous suffering. Results that took a tremendous toll on her well-being.
I can help you too.

Seeking a therapist can be a little scary. I'd love to speak with you on the phone to answer any questions you may have and to encourage you. My goal is to help you find direction and peace of mind, using your unique traits and talents.
I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.
