Hi there. I'm so happy you found my counseling profile. I have experience with a wide array of issues including depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug issues, PTSD, personality disorders, bipolar and other mood disorders, eating disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. I have an eclectic approach to therapy using different techniques such as motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, psychoeducation, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy.

I am a licensed counseling psychologist. I've been trained as a generalist. In addition, I've completed additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Mind-Body Connection. I focus on providing a warm and safe place for my clients to process their experiences, learn therapeutic interventions for coping, and better regulate and understand their emotions. I utilize strategies within the session to improve clients’ well-being and offer suggestions for what to do outside of therapy to help clients reach their goals.

My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients so that they can work through challenging aspects of their past and current life stressors to achieve their full-potential and a fulfilling life. I am known to be encouraging, upfront, and honest with my clients as therapy is all about collaborative work to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions will be collaborative, goal oriented, and focused.

If you have run into an obstacle in your life, especially one related to frustrating emotions like depression and anxiety, and you don’t know where to start, I am the therapist for you. My goal is to make therapy as simple as possible so we can work together to create the change in your life you want, whether that is to recover from a bout of mental illness or to have a space solely devoted to being heard.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I am currently accepting new clients. Depression, anxiety, divorce, men's Issues, addictions, couples counseling, anxiety, and codependency are my specialties. As a husband, father of four in a blended family, and grandfather of four active grandchildren, I understand how stressful life can be. Sometimes it seems like you have tried everything and you still can't seem to find the strength to make it one more day. Just when you think you have a few things figured out, people change, you get a new boss, your children begin struggling in school or you may discover something new about yourself that seems to make matters worse.

My ideal client is open minded and willing to do what is normally outside of their comfort zone. My ideal client is an individual who is dedicated to improving and committed to living a better life. Someone who is able to accept change and accept aspects that are out of their control. I have much experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, identity, addiction and many mental health issues. I thoroughly enjoy helping people overcome problematic areas and enabling individuals to live a full and meaningful life. I feel strongly about the empowerment of the client and healing the mind, body and spirit.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with almost a decade of experience in the mental health field. I work with teens, young adults, college students, and women living with OCD, anxiety, phobias, trauma, BFRBs (hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting), and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum depression, OCD, and anxiety). I am an active member of the International OCD Foundation and Postpartum Support International. I stay up to date with the latest research in mental health, engage in regular case consultation with field leaders, and complete continuing education trainings throughout the year.

We can often feel controlled by our emotions, struggling to think clearly, and simply reacting, rather than directing our own life path. It can feel like a tornado of thoughts quickly swirling, leaving us feeling tense and discouraged that life could look any different. We usually just want everything to slow down and feel more at peace. The goal is to provide you with the tools for this to happen so you can move forward with confidence to live a more positive and balanced life.

You've recognized that you aren't living life the way you want, but you aren't sure where to turn for reliable help. You may have even looked into therapy or presently be seeing a therapist, but your anxiety-related disorder hasn't been effectively addressed. You realize that your anxiety has gotten to be so much of a problem that you can no longer ignore it. It's starting to impact your health, and maybe other areas of your life, too. You have been trying so hard to work on it, but it's been a struggle trying to do it on your own.

We have remained steadfast in our efforts to create a team of clinicians with a varied specializations, so that we can be sure to effectively serve our clients and our community.

My ideal Client is someone who is motivated to work on themselves and dive deeper into emotional wounds that create barriers to your every day life. Being ready for change is an important factor in treatment feeling beneficial and we aren’t always motivated for change. Honesty and openness are key ingredients to building a life worth living, even on the days we feel burnt out and unmotivated.
