Hi there, I'm Brian!

I have held a variety of positions that have contributed to the way I approach therapy today. Whether in residential treatment or as a Clinical Director, I've maintained a major desire to help others and a gift for building rapport and strong working relationships with people of all ages and backgrounds.

My focus

I am comfortable with almost anyone and in any situation. However, I do not work with eating disorders or severe brain injuries.

My approach

My main modalities include Behaviorism, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Harm Reduction, Psychodynamic, and Nurtured Heart. In providing therapy, I try to tailor the experience to the individual, family, or couple I am working with.
