At present, I am a semi-retired mental health therapist whom has worked in the field since 1987. I have helped people in a variety of situations and settings during the past five decades (dang, that seems like a long time when I say that!).

• Substance Abuse Prevention in schools and community (3 years)

• Crisis Intervention (7 years)

• Program Director helping to reintegrate institutionalized individuals back into the community (4 years)

• Teaching Intro to Psychology and Abnormal Psychology classes at our local community college (11 years)

• Ran a private practice in Christian counseling specializing in marriage and family restoration (23 years)

• Worked for a local hospice organization providing support to terminally ill patients and their families (14 years)

• Specialized in treating Veterans with severe anxiety disorders at a community-based clinic with the Department of Veterans Affairs (13 years)

• If you are counting years, you will quickly realized I have frequently worn more than one hat at a time!

After retiring from the VA, my wife and I began full-time homesteading enjoying country living and raising a menagerie of farm animals. In 2024, I returned to part-time therapy while building a virtual resource for helping individuals through this website.
