I've retired my license on 3-5-28 and will no longer be providing Professional Counseling Services. If you are interested in guidance, counseling, and educational services, please go to my website at: OurJourneyThroughLife.org for complete information about me, my services, fees, and contact info. I also provide Parent Education for parents wanting to learn positive parenting approaches to help th
eir infants-18 yr olds feel secure, attached, and learn self-discipline. I write occasional responses for Quora Digest, and articles for my clients' needs. You can reach me at 336-970-0523. I try to return every call within 24 hrs, although sometimes 48 on the weekends, holidays, days closed or special circumstances. You may also e-mail me at: [email protected]. I offer "Distance Services" via phone consultations as well as full web cam services through on-line venues for counseling & educational services. I see clients for the initial 2 sessions in my office, if requested, within Kenosha County WI. I work by appointment, but am flexible and will try to work with you on short notice if possible. Any major credit card is accepted in addition to PayPal, Debit Card and VEMO. Payment can be made right on my website for your convenience!
**NOTE**: I am licensed by the WI Board and am in good standing with them as a fully licensed clinical Therapist. I draw on my yrs of education & experience in the mental health and education fields. I am currently in Private Practice seeing individuals and Couple's by Distance Counseling. (The initial first 2 sessions are offered Face-to-Face if requested. I keep myself up-to-date on the laws and ethics of Counseling. I possess the essential qualities of an effective Counselor/Educator which and understand the difference between the two. I can only provide my services to anyone under the age of 18 with signed parental consent, and their parent must schedule their appointment. Your date-of-birth will be asked, but you will not be asked to provide proof of that, unless there is some reason to doubt that you may not be at least 18. HOWEVER, stating that you ARE indeed 18 or over is being taken at your word that you are of age to legally sign agreements and documents for counseling as well as making payment professional services. You are asserting that you are at least 18 yrs old as a truthful legal statement. You will also be signing a Consent form that asks for the signature of the responsible party of at least 18 yrs old. If you are dishonest in representing the truth, this Counselor is not held responsible if the Counseling relationship was entered into based on false information which you knowingly provided. *For minors under the age 18, parental consent forms will need to be signed before Counseling services can begin*. It should be understood that I always strive to make my clients satisfied, and I encourage dialogue and feedback if the client would like to see any changes or does not think we are a good fit for working together. I believe that Counseling needs to be individually tailored to each client rather than a one size all approach. If it would be in your best interests to see another Counselor or to get a referral to an Internet or Face-to-Face Counselor, I will advise you of that. I also am of the mindset that I am the vehicle in which to assist you in taking your journey, but that you are the driver and are responsible for applying what is learned and implementing the steps to achieve your own objectives and goals, as you define them. The client should always be working harder at making the changes to their own lives than the service provider. That is taking responsibility and ownership of one's own life. I always aim to provide the best possible care to each and every client I work with. PLEASE NOTE THAT ***MY DISTANCE CO/EDUCATIONAL HRS ARE VE FLEXIBLE*** ( a strong benefit of TECHNOLOGICALLY ASSISTED SERVICES). THEY MAY BE EARLIER OR LATER DEPENDING ON THE CLIENT'S NEED AND MY AVAILABILITY. The PRIVACY, CONVENIENCE, and FLEXIBILITY of this type of support and assistance for people who are experiencing challenges whether it be at home, school, work, in relationships, or in life in general is a MAJOR BENEFIT to DISTANCE COUNSELING. Additional advantages are NOT having to worry about baby-sitting or elder care, as well as transportation issues and savings on gas and parking. In summary, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Parent Educator, which encompasses our personal/family lives, and professional lives: work-life balance, compensation skills for those with ADD/ADHD, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution skills, anxiety, depression, and couples counseling. I would be happy to discuss your situation and let you know if I have the expertise to be able to address your concerns.
