Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.
My specialties include marital and pre-marital therapy, parenting, trauma therapies, (EMDR and Brain-Spotting), DBT, enneagram type, and a fusion of spiritual/Christian/Biblical perspectives and traditional therapy that is available to the patient as appropriate. I also have focused treatment for those with various addictions, especially sexual addiction.
Are you stuck? I have spent a lifetime empathizing, encouraging, and empowering people. I help people let go of their past and recreate the best form of themselves. For 25 years I served as a pastoral counselor and for the last 20 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a private practice and offer marriage intensives with my wife.
