How I help:  In my 20+ years in practice, I have helped people with a wide range of psychological issues.  Over the years, however, I have developed several areas of special focus:

• First, folks who want their spirituality integrated into their therapy.  I have experience & training specific to CLERGY WELLNESS and helping PASTORS sort through the stresses and personal problems that can surface in the course of ministry.  My background specially equips me for this work:  in addition to being a therapist, I am an Episcopal priest.  I have lived the life of a parish pastor, so I well know both its joys & its strain.  Greater emotional maturity always enables greater spiritual maturity. 
• Additionally, I have firsthand experience of  the unique pressures of life in Religious (monastic) Orders.
•   
• My second specialization is the FIRST RESPONDER Community: Police, EMT’s, Firefighters, Dispatchers, Emergency services nurses and physicians, & airline pilots. We have a number of law enforcement and MILITARY in my family and I know well, and respect, the life you lead.  I understand the stresses of training, deployment and separation– Both on the service member and their family.

• Finally, I have a passion for helping those who struggle with CHRONIC ILLNESS, as well as the FOOD ALLERGY COMMUNITY.  Being ill, but looking “fine” on the outside, is difficult!

I do offer both online and in-person psychotherapy.

I also offer psychological testing services (including measures of personality, cognitive ability, and leadership style.)

I believe that psychotherapy is about the care of the total person: heart, mind, body, and spirit. As such, it can be a life-enriching process, expanding one’s capacity for self-awareness, and opening one to more meaningful relationships and a more fulfilling life.
