When I meet with individuals and couples in my office, I welcome them, and then we discuss the concerns which led to the appointment. I listen carefully, ask questions, and collect information that is helpful in formulating effective interventions. Evidenced-based strategies and procedures in areas including anger-management, addictions, marriage, and parenting are utilized. Reports to physicians, psychiatrists, schools, probation officers, and others are provided as necessary. I respect the world view of all individuals. My own world view is Christian. I have been in practice for over four decades. I have seen lives saved, marriages restored, children thrive, and teenagers survive! All calls are usually returned the same day.
