About Me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania and California.  I have worked with 1000s of children, teens, and adults in many settings over the past 25 years to cope with and overcome the effects of child abuse, divorce, war, and many other situations. I am an honorably discharged veteran of the US Marine Corps and US Navy, with continued service as a Marriage and Family Therapist for the US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center totaling 20 years of public service.  I currently live with my beautiful and amazing wife of 22+ years (who is a nurse) along with my two wonderful teenage kids and two dogs.

Our values and committment to you

Every person is unique and we appreciate what every individual has to offer.  Treatment is always a collaborative journey between you and your therapist.  It is our honor and privilege to share with those who put their trust in us to help them to make positive changes in their lives.     

Confidentiality

We are committed to 100% honesty and transparency with the goal of "no surprises". Everything about you and your treatment is safeguarded with the utmost protection as your trust and confidence in us is essential to your wellbeing and success in treatment.

Collaboration

You can expect that our appointments will always be a collaborative journey that is focused on being attentive to your needs and goals.  We explore the self, relationships with others, and the way we interact.  Sessions are directive and active.  We will do more than just talk......you will have homework assignments to practice skills that we will review during sessions.  Every session is focused on giving you more information, more skills, sometimes more questions, more motivation and confidence, and more hope for making the changes that are needed for your well-being.  

Compassion

You are here because some area of your life doesn't work the way that you need it to and you are here because you are willing to do something to improve it.  We understand that you may feel uncomfortable, strange, embarrassed, or even wrong. However, no matter what you're situation is there is never judgement and nothing that you can say will keep us from valuing you.
