In my practice of psychotherapy I have had over 30 years of experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings including outpatient therapy, inpatient therapy, individual therapy, marriage and group therapy as well as emergency room crisis intervention. I provide psychological evaluations and personality profiles that significantly increase success in divorce recovery and premarital work. I have worked in the foster care system with children, teens and young adults, blended families and a host of situations that call for expertise in parenting and the development of coping skills. Depression, anxiety and relationship issues have been areas that I have had the pleasure of working with as well as experienced much success. In my practice, I have focused upon patients ranging in ages from 4 to senior adults on a variety of issues such as marriage and family, anxiety and various addictions such as pornography and substance abuse. I also have expertise in areas such as grief and loss as well as stress and anger management. I combined a no-nonsense practical approach with spiritually based psychotherapy. I have served in the United states Air Force and have traveled throughout the world with diverse populations and culture speaking Spanish and Portuguese have been of great benefit in communicating with people of many backgrounds and cultures.
