Let's get started

My 40 years of marriage, extensive training and counseling experience prepare me to fight for your marriage and family.

My passion and speciality is Couple’s Therapy and Pre-Marital Therapy. Whether you are struggling with communication issues, a lack of emotional or physical connection or navigating and healing from an affair, I will help you have a better, stronger, marriage.

I offer comprehensive services dealing with:

Couples Counseling

You met, fell in love and had a beautiful wedding. You live happily for awhile, but your marriage suffers from a lack of attention and you grow apart. Your communication leads to fighting or at best sitting quietly on your phones trying to avoid each other. Bad habits give birth to destructive patterns and the dream of a great marriage turns into a big disappointment.

Pre-Marital Counseling

What do Snow White, Cinderella, and the Little Mermaid have in common? The last time you see them is on their wedding day. They kiss their prince, the music plays, and the words, “Happily Ever After” flash on the screen. You don’t see the challenges they face 6 months or 6 years in the future.

 

For Men Only

Ok men. No judgement here. Like you, I have done stupid stuff in my marriage. Once I gave my wife an Ace Hardware gift card for her birthday. She accepted the gift with a calm demeanor and slight smile while informing me she was giving me a mulligan, a do over. I ended up spending 4 times as much on my do over and she still kept the gift card. Her friends made fun of me for weeks. One of them made a picture book for me titled, “Gift Giving For Dummies.”

Telehealth

I moved to online counseling at the beginning of the pandemic. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it.

It turns out, I really like it.

I like it because it saves those of you from Peoria, Kankakee, etc. from a long commute; and it makes it possible for those of you from Chicago and Southern Illinois to meet with me. With Online therapy, I can counsel anyone in Illinois.
