Helping service members and their families is my passion.  I understand you don’t necessarily want to have your command knowing you are seeking counseling.  If so, active duty members can arrange a reduced fee and you can pay me directly.  Just ask.  Payments accepted are cash, check and now, Paypal.  I am now in the Tricare network and your family can be seen using these benefits.  Please call your provider for an initial authorization.

I have years of experience assisting non-military individuals, couples and families, as well, and have a great deal of experience working with the elderly and their families.  I and accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicare, and Lifesynch at this time.

You can get a jump start by reading.  While it may be uncomfortable if you are struggling with deployment issues, it is a form of therapy, and much less expensive than an hour with your therapist.  A recommendation for wives and families struggling to understand their service member is War, by Sebastian Junger.  (He also wrote The Perfect Storm.)  It is available as a book, and as an audio book.  He won an Oscar for the documentary version of it, Restrepo, another recommendation, which is available as a DVD.  Please feel free to ask me for a copy of my complete (but ever-growing) reading list.
