I've become very familiar with many aspects of the mental health field. I work with motivated clients willing to take responsibility for becoming well and happy. I build on clients strengths and partner with the client to address problems head-on. I don't focus on diagnosis, but prefer to see each person as an individual capable of overcoming problems and reaching her/his goals. I work with the person as a whole being, spirit soul and body, and am willing to address issues of spirituality if the client chooses. I specialize in dealing with addictions, men's issues. I specialize in building on the strengths of each individual, and maximizing their quality of life through embracing their God-given potential. Randy’s passion has always been for helping marriages, families, and relationships, yet he has expanded his knowledge and experience in other areas. For the past 25 years, he has been focused on helping people and their families that have struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol, providing individual, group, and family therapy.
