I have been in the field for twenty six years and have learned to adjust to what the client is presenting in the session to achieve a sense of safety. I work with what the client is presenting and focus on how to guide the client to work through their presenting problem. I have had a history of working with a variety of clients and cultures.

From there I worked with the homeless and the LGBTQ Community on addictions.

I started working in a therapeutic community with at risk adolescents. I later worked with court referred gang members. From there I worked with the homeless and the LGBTQ Community on addictions. I opened a private practice in a more suburban environment.

In my first session Alan made me feel understood without judgment. He has a direct and grounded approach that works well for me. He helped me see that I minimize what I carry and don’t give myself enough credit. I left the session feeling like I was in the right place.
