(he/him)
I am enthusiastic about good mental health. I enjoy helping others live their best lives by improving their health and relational skills. I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Addictions Counselor. I have extensive experience helping persons overcome depression, anxiety and addictions. While I know exploration of childhood experiences aids in the development of healthy adult skills, I also specialize in practical solution-oriented therapy.
During our first session I will get to know you including your most pressing concerns and work with you to develop a plan to address those concerns quickly.
I believe in practical solutions to mental health issues. I think a positive outlook and focusing on solving problems in real-life situations and in short time frames works best to improve functioning and mood.
