LPC, 8 years of experience
Greetings! I'm Ed, and I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and substance abuse. If you find that your enjoyment of life's simple pleasures is waning or if the demands of everyday life feel overwhelming, I'm here to help. My primary goal is to establish a solid working relationship with you, empowering you to make lasting positive changes. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you can feel comfortable addressing your concerns openly. In my practice, I draw upon evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, principles of Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness meditation. By incorporating these methods, I aim to guide you toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we'll explore your unique circumstances and work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote personal growth, emotional well-being, and improved relationships. I'm dedicated to assisting you on your journey towards positive change.
During our initial session, we'll start by getting acquainted. After introductions, we'll delve into the reasons behind your therapy journey and start crafting a plan to achieve your goals.
I pride myself on being an engaged and empathetic listener, particularly when supporting individuals grappling with addiction. Whether the addiction is related to substances or behaviors, I am dedicated to addressing it head-on and assisting in breaking its grip. Together, we can navigate the challenges, explore underlying factors, and work towards fostering positive change and healing.
Therapy for couples (addressing relationship issues) as well as individuals managing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and behavioral addictions.

Ed is one of the most kind and open-minded people I've ever met. The care he takes to listen and offer his thoughts feels like getting advice from your wise grandfather who's seen a thing or two and knows a thing or two. This man has helped me work through some major challenges in my life and I'm thankful to have worked with him all these months, and continuing for years to come. You will not regret going with Ed!!!

In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help individuals understand the intricate relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is an evidence-based, structured, and time-limited form of psychotherapy that empowers clients to identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors, fostering healthier and more adaptive ways of thinking and acting.
In my practice, I incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve their ambivalence about change. MI is a client-centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by helping clients identify and articulate their own reasons for change in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
