What I do
"Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another." Alfred Adler
This is the quote that I use as guidance to do what I do as a counselor. I love working with individuals and couples. Working with individuals provides me with an opportunity to assist them in establishing and reaching their life's goals while improving their quality of life. I also enjoy working with couples in all stages of their relationship. Teaching couples to improve communication helps them to resolve conflict and in many cases build stronger relational intimacy.

Domestic Violence...Can people really change?
Can a husband get counseling and stop being violently abusive? Is this possible or is this a pattern of a person’s character?

My boyfriend gets so drunk sometimes that he blacks out and doesn’t remember what happened the night before. He is trying to control his drinking because I asked him to and he doing really well but once in a while, about every 2 months or so, he slips up and goes on a binge that can last 2 or 3 or even 4 days. This happened last weekend and he confessed to me that he woke up in the morning with a woman in his bed. He called me right away and he confessed to me what had happened and he swore he had no memory of how it happened. He is really sorry but where does that leave me? Is getting really drunk actually a good enough excuse to f**ck another person. We were talking about getting married and now I don’t know what to do. I am dealing with a lot of emotions and I am so sad and angry that he could have been so stupid that he might have destroyed our future together. Do you have any advice for me?
