I have practiced as a marriage and family therapist for over thirty years, mostly in private practice in Porter and LaPorte counties. I have expertise working with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual abuse, eating disorders, ADHD, learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and addictions. I also have decades of experience helping families deal with school problems, acting out teenagers, parenting concerns, separation and divorce, work issues, military issues, ageing, grief and loss, and chronic and terminal illnesses. I consider myself a very spiritual person and I feel very comfortable discussing spiritual/religious issues with my clients. I am a member of the First United Methodist Church in Valparaiso, where I lead a weekly Grief Share group throughout the year and am a member of the church council. I have also held positions of clinical supervisor and clinical director for ten years. I have consulted with schools, industry, and businesses and have done extensive corporate training in the tri-state region.
