Education Background: I am a registered Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of public school experience in the elementary classroom as well as high school guidance and counseling environment both as a counselor and Director/Supervisor. My career has been spent in public schooling where I have seen and worked with a host of students and families from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My school experiences have allowed me to work with families in wide a variety of needs and circumstances. My Masters fieldwork was in a high school counseling office as well as a college admissions office.

My philosophy includes being committed to providing a safe and caring environment where people can share what they feel they need to share. I use a variety of techniques and philosophies that will help someone be confident in who they are so they can experience happiness and control within their life. Developing self-esteem and confidence is a pillar of success. I am a firm believer in mindfulness and self-care in treating the whole person. Through a variety of techniques such at Behavior Therapy, solution focused, humanistic or client centered therapy I can help a client reach their goal.

More About Me: I continue to work in a public school system and in my free time I am active in my church and enjoy spending time in the outdoors, especially camping and hiking. I have coached youth baseball and basketball for many years and look forward to time with my wife and children.

My experience with my therapist is amazing. I have tried several psychologist over the course of dealing with my mental health. I will be honest, I had given up. I went to a doctors appointment and was referred to Lifestance for counseling. From the first day I sat in his office, I felt like he was truly willing to first, listen to me and secondly, give his help as best as he could. There will always be things that will try and stop you from taking the next step. My suggestion is to trust the process and don't let anyone or anything stand in your way of healing. Thanks Scott!
