Hi, my name is Neil. I specialize in helping clients with stress, family conflicts, relationship issues, and building social skills. Welcome to my practice.
In order to make improvements in your life through therapy, you will have to work hard, consider new perspectives, and be willing to work through your fears and apprehensions. While I expect clients to work hard, I also believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion.
It's a challenge to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to engage yourself in the process of therapy and trust that change is possible, then I am ready to help you find your way.

At the outset of therapy, I like to identify clear goals that we can work on together, which will help us stay focused on making the improvements in your life that matter to you. I also believe in setting an agenda for each session, so that we can stay on track and you can start feel better as soon as possible.

I have experience with several forms of therapy. I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, also known as CBT, as it is a good fit for the majority of the clients that I see and has a significant amount of evidence to support that it does indeed work. My style in therapy is direct, open, and responsive to my clients' wants and needs. I work best with people that are ready to commit to change.
