(he/him)
If you are looking for a male therapist who understands depression, anxiety, grief and loss, divorce, or PTSD i am the therapist for you. I have 6 years of experience in the community and 14 years in the military with mental health issues. My dream client is 18 years and older who is looking for a professional and holistic experience to address needs you have in your personal and professional life.
The first session is about you and I developing an understanding of trust and respect. You are looking for assistance and the most important step is building trust and rapport between me the therapist and you the client. The therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect for you to feel safe and secure in the process of mental health recovery, and that starts on day one.
My greatest skill is the foundation is to understand my clients. 75% of what we say is nonverbal and I'd like to say I can hear 100%. I have the innate ability to understand both verbal and nonverbal cues which help me addressed decline in a more effective and efficient way.
My Ideal Client is between the ages of 12 and 65 years old. I am looking for clients that want a male therapist who is compassionate and fair, who believes he is there to listen and ask the questions the client wants and needs to make change in their lives. I never use a 5-dollar word when a 2-dollar word will do. It is not about the clinician giving an answer, but asking the right questions for the client to get the answer they want and need.

I wouldn't have gotten this far in my healing and sobriety if it wasn't for his help. Very supportive, kind, and encouraging.

Howard was great! He was directed to the point that he knows that he can help me and I have to help myself too. I like the honesty. I look forward to meeting with him again.
