About me

MY EXPERIENCE HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOU- I have thousands of hours providing counseling services and support. My years of experience have allowed me to help others focus on what is important in life. I have worked in various counseling agencies and in private practice. I have seen success in my counseling practice with individuals, families and couples. Helping people in the process of counseling and the opportunity to help people change their lives is very rewarding to me. I think of myself not just as a counselor, but a coach and mentor that will help keep you accountable. I look forward to working with you on this journey.

Get to know me

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

It is important to assess the client's circumstances and determine what the client is desiring to gain from the sessions. It is important for me to help the client get a better understanding about how I work and how I can benefit the client's circumstances.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

EXPLORATION FOR UNDERSTANDING- Therapy can be about exploration. I help people understand themselves and their situations better. It is very powerful to connect the dots and examine how life experiences have shaped us. Sometimes it is not always easy to see how different influences and experiences have shaped our behavior and outlook but this is what therapy can assist us to do. STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS- Therapy can also be about training. Strategies and techniques can be applied to help people alter anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, emotional problems, and even relationship problems. You can learn effective strategies to reset your life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

If you change your thoughts you can then change your behavior. This connection is powerful. We expect what we think. Unfortunately, our environments become a place to live out fears, worries, and anxieties. This can be changed and I can show you how.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

There is no problem that does not have a solution. If the problem itself cannot be changed then how you think and understand the problem can be changed. We can explore how to do this so you can make life improvements you deserve.

Richard is a great listener and has an intelligent and direct way of explaining how your brain and/or body is reacting to an issue, a challenge, or an incident. Our conversations are really insightful & I always leave our calls feeling like understand myself more and more.

The way he serves up questions is excellent and explains relationships in broader picture which allows for new perspectives to be realized on both sides of a marriage. He digs deep but does it repectively and with very enlightening results
