Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is extensively researched and proven effective for treatment of trauma by the American Psychiatric Association, World Health Organization, US Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, US. Department of Health and Human Services and others. EMDR is a non-drug, non-hypnosis therapeutic procedure to treat anxiety, depression, guilt, anger and post traumatic responses.

Personal Experiences
The focus of my Masters of Science from Concordia University was on the welfare and fidelity of the individual, family and marriage. At the University of Michigan, I completed an Advanced Human Resource Executive Program and worked in related corporate areas for 30 years.
Outside counseling, I retired as a 37 year commercial airline pilot captain. A veteran of the US Air Force, I served 10 years as pilot of the C-5.
Professional Client Focus
Healing is possible through hopeful, future-oriented counseling. Client results emerge cumulatively, continuously. I am proficient in treatment of grief, depression, anxiety, trauma and instability in moods, behavior, self image and functioning often associated with Post Traumatic Stress and Borderline Personality.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. Proficiencies include certifications from the Veteran's Administration to treat Post Traumatic Stress; the DBT National Certification and Accreditation Association; the International Association of Trauma Professionals; and I am Certified by the EMDR International Association. I have offered services as a Family Life Educator and Professional Christian Counselor for more than 10 years.
In addition to utilizing DBT and EMDR, my approach to psychotherapy selects best practices in counseling theory, finding solutions together to support client growth. For example, family systems therapy encourages healthier roles, behaviors and relationships. Emotion-focused therapy stimulates connections, helps understanding, recovery from loss, creating a more hopeful orientation. Cognitive behavior therapy promotes more effective thinking to positively influence emotions and behavior. Cognitive processing therapy relieves emotions triggered by underlying fears that accompany trauma.
