First off, thanks for reading my profile! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I spent most of my career working with people struggling with mental health issues, relationship problems and addictive behavior. I try to be "down to earth" and more directive in therapy because I think you want to get your issues solved as quickly as possible which is better for you. I believe we, as humans, can benefit from having someone to talk to at any point in our lives and I'm always up for a good chat. I'm also a believer that if you feel empowered to take on the hard things in life, you'll be more likely to be and remain successful with other things you may be facing.

I don't have “the answer" to everything, just the right questions to help you find them. As a provider, I like to work as a team on whatever we're doing. Sometimes I come on an answer for you, other times you'll come up with a solution that I didn't see coming. Either way, we work together on the goal. I don't like to use a lot of "psychobabble" in my language, preferring to be more “average—guy-on-the-street”. I’ll use situations, events and history from your life as a way to explain things. I'd also like to think that there's not a lot of difference between myself and my clients except that maybe I've already been down the road you're traveling now. That being said, the solutions are our there if we just look for them.

You can expect a good chat to try to get what brought you to me, what you'd like to see happen and anything else that we could need to get started. If we take some time to get to know each other, that will always make the rest of the journey more comfortable.
