Hello. My name is Adam and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and athletes on a variety of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, conflict resolution, relationships, sports counseling, and trauma. I believe we are all just one small adjustment away from the life we want. With the use of psychotherapy, we can modify behaviors, our mindset, and implement healthy habits to find balance while continuing to grow. No time like the present, so let's get started!
