About Rev.
I seek to assist persons in successfully finding their way through difficult circumstances and in building healthier emotional lives. I grew up in a loving, hard-working, three-generational, Christian family. My life experiences include marriage, family, sports, carpentry, music, research, Emergency Medical Technician, mistakes, and continued progress. I earned the Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University and as an ordained Minister have served several congregations over many years. As part of that experience I earned the Master of Education, Counseling degree from University of North Texas, Dallas and have worked part-time for several years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in a Child Advocacy Center with children, teens, and non-offending adult caregivers. My training and experience includes Cognitive Processing Therapy, certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Gottmans' Levels I and II, volunteer work in the PTSD unit of a Veterans Affairs facility, past certification in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, 12 years certification as an Emergency Medical Technician, and volunteer Chaplain in local ambulance services. I respect each client as a person of sacred worth and am a good listener, seeking to assist the person in effectively managing difficulties and attempting to discover the underlying causes of chronic problems. This is fulfilling, life work for me, seeing others gaining in peace of mind, effective daily life, and healthy hope for their future. Read more Show less
