I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to helping men, women, couples, parents and veteran families improve their mental and emotional health. I am a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator to administer couple assessments, a Financial Peace University Coordinator, and trained in PREP (an empirically based system designed to enhance effective communication). My experiences in business management, pastoral counseling, support group work, and as a combat medic in the U.S. Army provide a lot of real world experience to help clients achieve their goals. I believe the counseling relationship is a cooperative effort that begins by building a trusting relationship between counselor and client. Through this relationship, the counselor and client collaborate to identify and achieve goals that help resolve concerns.
