I moved to Indiana from central New York after graduating with a bachelor of science degree in Interpersonal Communication from The University at Buffalo.  I met my wife 33 years ago in Bloomington while we were graduate students in the Counselor Education program at Indiana University.  We have been married for 30 years and have two adult children.

Meaningful change is why people see a therapist. All of my clients identify the specific changes they hope to experience in their first session and we work together to achieve their goals throughout their course of treatment.  The time you spend with me will be purposeful and goal-oriented.  It is an honor to work with my clients.  They trust me with their deepest secrets and fears. They report feeling better after one session, and typically see me for six to eight.

I have had the good fortune to work in clinical in-patient and educational settings the last 30 years.  In 1998 I opened my private practice in South Bend.  I have worked with a wide range of clients and presenting issues.  I specialize in family dynamics...marriage and sex therapies, parenting, children, teens and general wellness with individual adult clients.  I was trained by doctors John and Julie Gottman, am trauma informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
