(he/him)
I have been providing counseling services for over 35 years. I use the evidence-based approaches to provide you the best possible approaches to working in your issues. Life is difficult and life is complex. We all need others at times in our lives to help us through hard times. I have worked with many clients to help them deal with their anxiety, depression, and substance misuse issue. I am passionate about helping others to heal and thrive. I have also taught in several undergraduate and graduate counseling and psychology programs. I want to bring the best knowledge we have in psychology and counseling to your counseling experience. Change is not easy, but it is possible. I want to help you through the process of dealing with your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that are causing distress. Lastly, I am patient and persistent. Counseling can improve lives. Let me know if I can be of help.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
After our first session, you can expect some clarity in how we can work together. You may also feel a sense of relief because you are beginning to work on an issue or problem that you have been avoiding.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I work primarily using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I integrate other evidence-based approaches as needed to provide a holistic approach that meets the needs of clients. I also believe that being able to share our inner thoughts in a safe environment is key to an effective counseling relationship.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is my appreciation for the complexity and difficulties in life. There is no judgement. I have worked with numbers of clients in different settings and have a wealth of knowledge and experience. I want to use my strengths to help others.
