My journey to you may be a little different than some other therapist. Over the years my professional experiences include a lengthy career in sales; working in the Long-Term Care Industry as an Admissions and Marketing Director as well as a Director of Social Services; community involvement as a HIV/AIDS Intervention Specialist; and the privilege of serving 10 years as a Licensed Pastor. I became a husband, a father, and now a grandfather. I’ve experienced the multiple joys and victories of life; as well as learning how to recover from self-inflicted defeats, and the consequences of choices we cannot change. So, I come to you not only as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, but as someone who brings the experience of reality to each of your therapy sessions.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
There are two things I want you to take away from your first session: Hope. Knowing that the decision you made to begin or continue the counseling process is a pivotal turning point in your life, and your life will change because of this choice. Courage. The ability to face the changes your new life choices will bring, no matter how uncomfortable these choices may be.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a therapist is understanding that your journey through counseling is not a solo flight. I truly understand that change is difficult because of the mistakes and shortcomings in my own life. This allows me to not only hear you , but see where you can go, what you can do
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My idea client is someone who is willing to be honest with themselves, and with me. If I’m not a good fit for you, if can’t help you, I will not waste your time. Simultaneously, if you are not willing to put in the effort and are not willing to grow, I won’t let you waste mine. My idea client is also willing to learn and practice the art of visualization. I can only take you as far as you are willing to see. Lastly, my idea client is open to the power of questions and the intensity of listening.

Great concept on looking first at oneself before diving into the problem.

One of the best therapy sessions. Eddie is warm, intelligent, and immediately picked up on the real issues fast. He didn’t just listen, he challenged me, and called out negative thinking as it happened, helping me understand the deeper “why.” He gave me clarity, practical tools, a to-do list, and other things to help fit my life. I left feeling understood, guided, and motivated. If you want a therapist who doesn’t sugarcoat, is solution-oriented, and genuinely helps you grow, Eddie is the one.
