Welcome to my home page.  I’m glad you’re here!

Please enjoy the quotes, sayings, and photographs. Check back often for changes.

The FREE handouts and information about my book chapters are now up on this website.

Trauma and neglect most often begin in the home. It is my belief, borne of research and clinical experience, that the number one problem we face is not addiction, domestic violence, or child abuse -

is unresolved trauma

When we treat trauma, we may no longer have addiction, domestic violence, or child abuse.

Please leave your full name, phone number, the best days and times to reach you, and indicate if it is OK to leave a message for you if I get your voice mail.                                                                                      You may need to turn off your caller ID. Please call again if you do not get a response to your call within 72-business hours.

After we talk for a moment we can set up an initial intake and assessment appointment and meet face-to-face for an hour and talk further to ensure this is the right place for you.  If so, we’ll set your goals for therapy, discuss your treatment plan options, and then       set out to accomplish your goals.
