I am a married father of 3 children (adults now) and 9 grandchildren.Regular Army veteran of 3 years. Life is good now, in spite of many challenges (which have helped me to better understand my client's difficulties!). The biggest challenge was overcoming an addiction to alcohol 42 years ago. There have also been divorces and marriages with estrangement of children and then reconcilliation with them. I have had successful businesses and failed ones. When I was a 50-year-old, I re-entered college and finished my doctorate 7 years later. So, you can see that I am persistent! I am a 10-year cancer survivor plus 4 other major operations. "Never give up" is my motto! I have practiced as a solo practitioner providing individual and group psychotherapy. Also, I have conducted forensic examinations for the courts performing evaluations for pre-trial defendants. Literally, I have conducted thousands of disability exams. Also, I practiced as the psychologist at a maximum security prison in Missouri for 9 years. In this position I treated men with severe anger, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders. It was stressful work but very rewarding. I love working with people and sharing tools and techniques to overcome their problems and continue on their way with positive self-esteem. I also have extensive experience helping veterans with PTSD and adjustment issues! When your goal is to be happy, joyous, and free, help is there for the asking!
