I have been providing counseling services to adults, adolescents and children at the Healing Heart Counseling Center since 2005. I provide individual, couple and family counseling.
I have experience in several mental health areas. I have worked with chronically mentally ill adults in an inpatient hospital setting and intensive out-patient therapy using didactic therapy groups focusing on coping and stress relief skills. I worked for two years at an outpatient center with children and teens who struggled with depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, learning disabilities, conduct disorder and oppositional defiance disorder. I worked with opiate dependent patients at a local medical clinic for approximately a year and half providing case management concerning addiction, relapse prevention, poly-substance abuse, stress relief as well as counseling for depression and anxiety.
Currently, I work in a reentry setting helping formerly incarcerated persons to help prevent recidivism.
My interests and hobbies include cars and racing. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons.
