Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Brian!

I am an LCSW with 30 years of experience in mental health. During that time I have been everything from an “Overnight/ Stay-awake” in residential facilities, a crisis intervention worker performing suicide and homicide evaluations, to being a Clinical Director of a mental health program for a large company. A couple things that have remained consistent throughout this time has been a major desire to help others and a gift for building rapport and strong working relationships with people of all ages and backgrounds. In providing treatment I pull from a variety of modalities in order to tailor the experience to the individual, couple, family, or group that I am working with. These modalities include but are not limited to; Behaviorism, CBT and DBT, Solution Focused, Harm Reduction, Psycho-education, etc… Additionally, I pride myself in providing help in a realistic and “down to earth” way that may employ the use of professional and purposeful self-disclosure as well as communicating in a way that conveys unconditional positive regard.
