LPC, 27 years of experience
I believe the most important aspect of counseling is feeling comfortable with the counselor. You need to be able to trust who you are working with has your best interest at heart and genuinely listens to help meet your therapeutic goals. If I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding the right counselor. I have over 20 plus years experience.
To help clients make tangible progress, I often assign practical exercises or "homework" that promote movement toward their personalized goals. By encouraging clients to actively engage with the therapeutic process outside of sessions, I help them integrate the skills they’ve learned into their daily lives, promoting sustained growth and long-term change.
Key strengths often include resilience—the ability to bounce back from adversity and adapt to change. Compassion is another powerful strength, as it fosters meaningful connections and empathy toward others. Integrity, the commitment to honesty and strong moral principles, builds trust and reliability in relationships.
I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome life’s emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. I enjoy working with clients which are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

Joe was very kind hearted, we felt that he listened and received us with open arms. This has only been one session, and yet, we feel like we have known him forever. We look forward to our next session with him.

Truly authentic and helpful. Felt more results out of the first session then I had with any other counselor or therapist I had spoken with previously.
