I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 16 years of experience, providing individual and family counseling services. I work with trauma, anxiety, complicated grief, attachment, adjustment issues, peak performance, business management and divorce counseling . I have extensive experience working with Dissociative Identity Disorders (DID) and other dissociative symptoms. I use ego state therapy and EMDR often in my work. I have integrated neurofeedback, a specialized form of biofeedback, into my practice as a stand alone therapy or to be used in conjunction with psychotherapy. I do minimal talk therapy, mostly focusing on reaching your identified goals using therapeutic tools to process past events and create new way of seeing the world around you. By creating a path to use as a compass towards goals clients are able reorient themselves during and after therapy as goals are refined.
I am 75 years old with previous careers as a naval officer, professional pilot, accountant, police officer and am a retired FBI special agent. I continue to work because I find providing counseling services to facilitate individual wholeness and well-being in others the most interesting and rewarding work I have done. I use the therapeutic process and lessons learned from real world experience to develop positive outcomes. I focus on client goals, communication and finding hope for change to bring about wholeness through the integration of mind, body and emotions in present time.
