Feeling confused or stuck? Therapy can help people identify and make progress on issues that are getting in the way of happiness, personal growth and fulfilling relationships in their lives. My professional experience includes success in helping teens and adults dealing with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use, relationships, parenting, and family related issues. I have worked in the counseling center of a major university, in a substance use treatment facility, in community mental health, and in private practice. I am a local and fully independent clinician. As a husband and parent, and with past and current business experience, I bring a common-sense and problem-solving approach to my work. I am empathic and understanding, but also goal-directed and I can help you identify issues and use your skills and strengths to make progress on your goals. "Beware of fake referral services, I only use Psychology Today." I have a strong interest in diversity and social justice and strive to provide a safe space to discuss issues. My personal background and training help me to join you where you are and help you make progress on your goals. Contact me via phone or email so we can discuss your situation and determine if I am a good fit in helping you reach your goals.
