(He/Him/His)
Counselor, Psychologist, Psychotherapist
Life affirming, self-worth affirming, positive approaches built upon client needs and strengths.
I am looking forward to meeting you. I have been practicing for more than 40 years in outpatient treatment. I am also a Professor Emeritus at the University of Kansas. I approach treatment from a strengths perspective, use evidence-based strategies, and will work with you to collaboratively set goals to meet your individual needs. I enjoy working with adults, older adults, and young adults. I work with people from many different backgrounds and believe in the worth of every individual.
