About me
Hey, I think it’s time for a deep breath! The more we chase speculation the more we turn those things into a mental drain. Most of us just need to slow things down and relax, to let our natural gifts come to the surface. Sometimes the assets in our toolboxes get a little rusty. I can help you re-discover them for current and upcoming challenging scenarios. I prefer to work with my clients in the present and future.
I specialize in acquiring, edifying, and maintaining relationships. As a licensed marriage & family therapist (LMFT), I believe that problems are in relationship, not people. It takes two to tango, and argue. If your challenging other is not available, or open to counseling - we can work through that. Marital counseling is what I'm good at. I've only had 3 couples divorce in my 25 years of practice. I think it's the advantage the LMFT has over other disciplines.
My client base has encompassed individuals, couples, and families in the areas of blended family issues, marital discord, parenting assistance, pre-marital, anger management, academic challenges, and sexual addiction. I have counseled in homes, organizations, schools, places of worship, and the military. Ten years of international experience allows me to assess relationships from a variety of diverse angle.
It was Winston Churchill’s wife that said “ You are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.” So being imperfect and having doubts is important. I think I’m practical and motivating (like my therapy).
I want to let you know my hours in advance, no surprises. I'm available Monday - Friday in the am at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 11. And in the pm at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (please note - CDT time zone). Housekeeping Tips: My clients set their own day/times with the BetterHelp Scheduler, I don't do "live chat therapy," we can talk briefly between sessions though on challenging issues that pop up. I also don't do addictions or domestic violence challenges - something best handled in a face to face setting with a qualified person. Video sessions always preferred - MUCH better quality for your investment. Some folks are anxious - 1st time doing this, awkward
- its ok, after our first session you'll see how comfortable it is. When needing the phone app while driving, etc - understood.
MOST IMPORTANT, on the first session - the use of a firehose strategy doesn’t work out for the both of us. You know the firehose – info bombarding because you want to get me up to date, an emotionally charged dump of data that I can’t keep up with – a waste of the first session. I need you to entrust your case to me - everything will come to the surface soon; but there’s a method for that. To me the first session is important - the last thing I want to do is waste our time.
I look forward to talking with you!
