As a Christian Therapist, I believe in caring for all aspects of the person, including their psychological, social, and spiritual needs and issues. I have worked with both adolescents and adults, individuals and couples. I specialize in adolescent and male issues, pertaining to all facets of life. I specialize in addiction and substance abuse issues, life adjustment issues, adolescent issues, male oriented issues, and self discovery and healing, including spiritual healing. My clinical experience includes working with many issues related to addictions, such as Substance Abuse, Alcohol/Chemical Issues, Codependency, Pornography and Sex Addiction. It is my goal to help clients improve relationships with self, partners, family, children, coworkers, and God. I have experience with conflict resolution, with both small and large groups and in both intimate personal and professional and work settings. I often assist individuals, teens, parents, partners, families, and groups with emotional issues such as life adjustments, stress, anxiety, depressing emotions, family and environmental issues, and life direction, guidance, and coaching. My approach to change and improved health, in addition to being holistic, is based on reality or choice theory, which is a cognitive-behavioral approach that can be effective in achieving many goals and changes we desire in life, focusing on developing solutions to life's struggles to better enable and empower gaining desired needs and wants in life. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy as well, using techniques from many therapeutic approaches. I have found that reality therapy meshes well with many different approaches, thoughts, and religious beliefs, including my Christian faith and Native American heritage.
