I operate from the premise that each person is born with greatness in who they are, no matter what life circumstances she or he came from or is currently in. I believe no negative experience can destroy the worth of a human being.
I have over 28 years of experience working with youth, families, and adults who are emotionally and spiritually-distressed.
I received his BA in Psychology from the Franciscan University and earned his Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. I am married going on 20+ years with three kids, two of which are in college.
My goal is to provide support to people that help get to the root of unhealthy cognitive and behavior patterns that keep them in toxic or dysfunctional situations. I work on teaching clients to better understand and accept their current circumstances and to gain strength from the pain of their reality.
