About

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families overcome challenges and create positive, lasting change in their lives. As a Mental Health Therapist, Child and Youth Worker, and Marriage Counselor, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people, from teen boys facing difficult life transitions to couples navigating the complexities of marriage.

During my years as a Youth Worker, I focused on helping boys aged 12-18 overcome challenges, make progressive changes, and build a better future. The experience was often challenging, but immensely rewarding as I witnessed these young individuals grow and thrive.

Equally fulfilling is my work with married couples. I’m deeply committed to helping partners strengthen their relationships and achieve their marital goals. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how effective communication, trust, and a willingness to work together can transform a relationship. To share my knowledge and experiences, I wrote HOW TO TUNE UP YOUR MARRIAGE FOR LIFE, a book that offers practical advice for couples seeking to deepen their connection and enhance their marriage. You can find it on Amazon.com.

Whether you’re an individual seeking mental health support, a couple working on strengthening your relationship, or a family in need of guidance, my approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and a genuine desire to help you thrive. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges and create the positive changes you deserve.

As a father of two amazing daughters, I’ve experienced the joys and challenges of raising strong, independent women. Being a father has shaped my understanding of family dynamics, the importance of nurturing relationships, and the deep bond that exists between parents and children. However, like many families, we’ve also faced heartache. Losing our grandson was a profoundly painful experience that changed our perspective on life and taught us the true value of cherishing every moment together.

This personal loss has given me an even deeper understanding of grief, resilience, and the need for support during difficult times. It’s through these personal and emotional experiences that I bring a greater level of empathy and insight into my counseling work, helping others navigate their own challenges with care and understanding.
