I have lived here in the Sioux Falls area since 1983 and have been married to my wife Cindy for 39 years. I completed my bachelor’s degree from Dakota State University in information systems in 1987. I completed my master’s degree in guidance and counseling in 1993 from South Dakota State University.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health in the state of South Dakota. My professional practice is centered on Adlerian Theory. This approach allows me to work in union with the client to attain cognitive and behavioral changes that fit each client’s personal needs. The majority of my practice is centered on troubled children, adolescents, and their families. I have also been providing services to the hearing impaired for over 40 years.
Inner strength based on faith is my personal theme. This healing journey will be experienced with the client and is an experience that affects both the professional and the client. These changes will allow interventions to impact the client’s ability to grow gracefully through the life span. I am also available for community outreach services, seminars, public speaking, and behavior management training.
