Therapist

I'm Russ! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. Asking for help is not easy for many, and you're to be commended for taking that first step. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, and everyone needs some help from time to time. I have seen a multitude of clients of all ages with diverse backgrounds. Being a good listener and having a non-judgmental approach are two of the things people ask for most in a therapist. With me, you will get both of those things! I am always present when my clients are experiencing stressful life challenges. My areas of expertise include Depression, Anxiety, Men's Health, Trauma, PTSD, Grief Issues, and Couples Therapy, I am specifically very experienced and specialized with Anxiety Disorders. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves, but am also able to help those who may need to be in therapy more short-term with Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach. I think that growth and progress come from addressing the difficult issues head-on, but we can also make therapy a little more fun along the way.

Great to meet you. If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, stress, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, sleep issues, or the pressure to keep functioning while feeling stuck inside, therapy can help you slow down and begin making sense of what you are carrying. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who want a safe, culturally sensitive, and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. I also support clients navigating LGBTQIA+ concerns, women’s issues, racial identity, trauma, grief, loss, addiction, chronic health concerns, and life stressors. My goal is to help you build practical tools for growth and healing while strengthening emotional awareness, communication, coping skills, and confidence in your ability to move forward.
