Hi there, I'm Deric!

We sometimes get stuck in patterns that result in poor decision-making, painful feelings, depressed mood, anxious mood, or unhealthy relationships. I can assist you as you gain self-awareness about your behavior and make positive changes to improve your relationships and promote a more satisfying life.

My focus

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment challenges, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My clients are seeking to break unhealthy patterns and move toward greater well-being and fulfillment.

My approach

I use Solution-Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients manage their moods, reduce anxiety and depression, and manage stress. These approaches provide practical tools for understanding patterns and creating meaningful change.
