About

Greetings! Thank you for your consideration to enter into a therapeutic relationship with me. I would like to share a little background information to help you make an informed decision, prior to moving forward. I completed all of my formal education from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), included a bachelors degree in Bio-Behavioral Health, a masters degree in Counselor Education/Psychiatric Rehabilitation, and a doctoral degree in Adult Education. My doctoral dissertation pertained to substance used disorders and spiritual development amongst human service professionals. I began working in clinical practice in 2002; since that time I have worked in various settings including: State Vocational Rehabilitation, outpatient practice, psychiatric hospitals, detox centers, and educational institutions. Specialization areas within my practice include: the blended family experience, depression and anxiety concerns, traumatic experiences, substance use concerns, and general aspects of phase of life adjustment. I currently reside on the eastern shore in Delaware with my wife and 3 children. In my free time I enjoy experiencing the outdoors, playing and building guitars, and engaging in activities with my family.
