(he/him)
As a licensed therapist of more than thirty years, I have the experience and expertise to work with clients on a variety of issues. I provide a safe therapeutic environment that builds trust and openness. Clients who engage in the counseling process discover new energy for life and relationships. This results in positive change and increased self-awareness. I’m actively involved in the sessions, providing guidance, structuring interventions, and setting goals. Positive change happens one step at a time, trusting that life can get better. I also have expertise in anger management/domestic violence treatment.
An introduction to the program, learning about the client(s), being open to their questions, setting initial goals, and a treatment plan.
I'm a good listener; ask clarifying questions; and bring insight and guidance to issues; and build an environment of trust and openness.
I work primarily with relationship issues - couples, divorced, families, premarital, trauma victims, self-esteem, substance abuse, anger management, and life transitions and crisis.

We enjoyed his counseling and we will be seeing him again.

It was a good first session. We appreciate Paul's consoling attitude.

Paul was open-minded in even our first session together, and even though we're in a challenging spot now, he made us feel secure in our journey, provided level guidance and perspective, and was very inviting with what he believes we're capable of.
