Greetings,

I was born on my grandparents small farm in a mid-western state. I spent my formative years on the farm, working with animals and working in agriculture. As I grew older, I lived in nearby cities attending elementary and high school.

The resilience and preparation and determination required to live on, and work on, a farm, gave me the attitudes and work ethics that are fundamental to meeting challenges of life.

The education and instruction that I received in the cities, and the opportunities that became apparent, and available, gave me material to chart a course and path for my life endeavors.

From that background, my professional, and other work has been dedicated to helping people strive to achieve the best versions of them selves!

My Mission is to help you develop and grow your Resilience

and overcome the effects of the challenges and stressors that you face in your daily life.

I have practiced as a Psychologist, and as an Applied Behavior Analyst, providing services to adults and to children, for over thirty-five years.

In my work, I have coached many people toward resilience and shown them that they have the resources to meet the challenges that may come their way.

I am married to my wife of twenty-eight years. Our children are hers, mine and ours. We have six grandchildren, and one beautiful great grand daughter. I have earned a bachelors degree in Sociology, a masters degree in Child Development, and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology.

In my thirty-five plus years of practice as a clinical and behavioral psychologist I provided psychotherapy and behavioral services for adults and children. I served them in their homes, schools, workshops, and workplace settings.

Are you dealing with some life challenges? The challenges of growing up, parenting, and navigating the vicissitudes of relationships, and work, and careers, are often very daunting. Sometimes we all can use some guidance and direction and coaching when we encounter life's challenges and difficulties. Coaching and guiding young people, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, workers, and friends, is what I do in my life and my profession. I coach and guide you to more productive attitudes, and thinking, and behavior. I coach and guide you to be better equipped to meet the challenges that you encounter in your life.

We will assess the situations and challenges that present difficulty in your life. We will develop plans and lessons and resource materials, designed specifically to help you meet your life challenges, and thrive. Tools and Approaches that we will include are: Talking and Listening, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Biofeedback, Applied behavioral Analysis.

Just like you, I have been through the peaks and the valleys; I have matriculated in the Universities of Success and Favor, and I managed to get through the School of Hard Knocks. I did well in both settings. I have some skills, knowledge, experience, and stories to share.

I’m looking forward to working with you.

I believe I have much to offer you here.
