About

I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and a minor in psychology and a masters degree in counseling psychology
and over 35 years of counseling and psychotherapy experience . I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
and am a Certified Addictions Counselor (CADC). My work experience includes being the Clinical Director at a community mental health center and as the Executive Director of a behavioral health care center where I supervised many staff and student interns. My private practice work dates from 1988 and I partner in the practice with my wife, Melinda. My counseling approach is client-centered and non-judgmental and I strongly believe that it is a privilege to be able to know and to help the people I see. On a more technical level, I believe in
a cognitive-behavioral model as well as the need to understand previous experiences and conditionings and help them make sense of how these factors have influenced them. I have special training and expertise in treating depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, and attention deficit disorders.
