Hi there, I'm Richard!
I offer counseling for grief and loss, alcohol and substance use, and behavior change. My work focuses on helping you navigate difficult emotions, build healthier patterns, and move toward wellness with compassion and understanding.
My focus
I work with adults struggling with alcohol and drug use, experiencing grief and loss, or seeking motivation for change. I have extensive experience with veterans and am comfortable working with LGBTQIA+ individuals.
My approach
My approach adapts to your needs. For substance use or behavior change, I use Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. For grief, I guide you through accepting loss, processing emotions, reconnecting socially, and honoring memories.
