Personal Statement

My name is Craig and I genuinely enjoy helping people overcome their life challenges, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other problems life throws at you. I believe everyone has the potential to not just feel better and move past their current struggles but also truly feel happier and more fulfilled with their current life and. We all struggle with major life events and sometimes feel stuck and lost. It's ok to need some help to sort out where you are at and plan a new course forward. Consider making a much-needed investment in yourself and let's work together to make your mental and emotional well-being a top priority this year.

Some common problems I help people with are: Obsesive Overthinking & Overanalyzling / Life Transitions / Work Stress / Relationship Problems / Difficulty Adjusting to Changes / Depression / Panic, Anxiety, Social Anxiety / OCD / ADHD / Bipolar / Stress and Anger Management / Family or Parenting Issues / Caregiver Stress / Aging Parents / Grief and Loss

I appreciate how difficult it can be to find a good therapist so I offer free video consultations so you can see if we're a good fit.
