About me
I’m committed to your personal growth and happiness by exploring being your authentic self, including ways to improve communication skills to enable you to be able to engage in hard conversations, improve your connection with the important people in your life, and to ensure that you can self-regulate your emotions. With compassion and honesty, I aim to encourage your hopes and dreams to come to fruition.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
we will get to know one another, ask questions, and create 2-3 therapy goals of importance to the client.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My Specialties are- Addiction, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Grief/loss, Individual and couples counseling, Relationship issues, Illness/end of life issues, Mindfulness, Self esteem/worth, Creating and maintaining boundaries, and LGBTQ issues. I can teach you how to have hard conversations with those in your life you might be avoiding uncomfortable topics, that once had can increase your connection with one another.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Anyone with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, couples issues, lgbtq, and addiction issues. ***For couples therapy: since all insurance companies pay substantially lower rates for these sessions I am accepting insurance for couples therapy sessions, however we will do 30-45 minute sessions only after the initial intake session.

My treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
First we need to ID the problem, then brainstorm for solutions. if you do not ID a problem then there's no solution and you remain stuck. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 18 years, I can educate & empower you with addiction, grief, stress, & anger coping strategies, as well as those struggling for motivation towards long term goals. I accept insurance for individual therapy 60 minute sessions. For couples sessions we can bill insurance, and after the initial intake appt. the session length will be 30-45 minutes. I make therapy reasonably priced with an affordable $150 hourly rate for those w/o insurance, feel free to reach out to me to discuss a sliding scale fee for cash pay clients if you meet the requirements.

A wonderful experience working with him for about a year so far. I really appreciate how direct and goal oriented he is, we have clear long term goals we work and short terms goals he makes sure to establish for each visit. Is also very authentic and intelligent and very pleasant to talk to. Would highly recommend.

It was good to review the different communication styles. It was also good to discuss a real situation and get helpful feedback.
