About me
I am in my 22nd year as a psychotherapist.
What to expect:
Respect and Support - Most people find my straightforward approach helpful and solution-focused. It may not be for you! If you believe you are fairly certain you are "ready" then let's give it a try!
Office hours: 8am - 3pm CST
Timely responses
Expertise - I have seen the impossible happen in person after person - 20,000 client hours! I believe people can achieve incredible things despite impossible odds because I've been there when it happens.
Three questions I'm known to ask people in therapy:
1. If you had your financial life at 100% satisfaction, what would be left to do for you to be your ideal self?
2. Why? (no matter what people say, I tend to follow by asking, "why"?)
3. If when you awake in the morning, everything was changed for the better, what is the first thing you'd notice?
About 60% of my practice involves work with adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex) and couples recovering from affairs. I also offer traditional general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, particularly post-hospitalization or adults who are noticing symptoms for the first time. Other services include pre-surgery psych evals and group therapy.
A few other notes about me
I authored a workbook for couples, Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship that has ranked in the top 100 Dating Books on Amazon since it's release in 2021.
