You have taken a courageous step by seeking counseling, and I would be honored to help you meet your goals. I have worked as a counselor in Florida since 1983 and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 1988. I have worked in numerous inpatient and outpatient settings, gaining experience with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am confident I can help you with anxiety, depression, substance use, anger, ADHD, and other concerns. In addition to counseling, I love spending quiet time in nature (woods, beach, mountains), visiting art museums and galleries, and getting some exercise. For me, these are quiet episodes of escape from the challenges of life. I also love live music, but not because it's quiet.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I want to learn about your concerns and help you find solutions. I want you to feel supported and to learn some new approaches to solving problems.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

Listening is an important part of this experience. I need to learn about your concerns, and you will benefit from sharing. I will help you analyze, gain more insight, and find solutions through discussion and reading. My approaches are primarily behavioral and cognitive.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my strength as a counselor has always been my love for people and my desire to help others reach their goals.

In just a single session, Bruce showed not only great compassion (which you expect from a counselor) but keen perception and intelligence. He connects authentically and non-judgmentally, but more importantly provides insights and strategies with a balance of cerebral precision and emotional cadence. Extremely discerning, curious, and caring. A great fit for anyone looking to foster real growth.
