I have been a Counselor for over 30 years. I started out as a Navy Drug and Alcohol Counselor at Roosevelt Roads Naval Hospital in 1989 when I was active-duty Navy. From there, I discovered the satisfaction and joy of working with people and families to help them identify and resolve their problems.
I have experience with individuals and families, school-age children, adolescents, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, and family issues, including domestic violence.
I have experience working with couples who are focusing on separation, divorce, and/or reconciliation situations. I teach people how to communicate and listen to each other - husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, adolescents and parents, adolescents and authority figures.
I was a Virginia Court-Certified mediator for J&DR (Juvenile & Domestic Relations) Court from 2016 to 2021. I provided mediation services to families and individuals to guide them through co-parenting issues (custody, support, and visitation decisions) as an alternative to going before a judge during separation and/or divorce.
I provide a comprehensive and, if requested, a Christian-based approach to treatment that will best meet each individual's needs and goals.
