About me

My primary goal as your counselor is to help you clarify your presenting problem and work towards reducing your suffering and enhance your quality of life. I primarily work with adults who are experiencing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, anger, chemical abuse/addiction and post-traumatic stress. I ground my counseling work in scientific, evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My best work is accomplished when you and I feel we are working together towards a common goal while being aware of the your challenges and resources in mind, body, relationship, and environment. I greatly respect your willingness to take the first steps towards recovery and I do my utmost to help you in achieving your counseling goals.

Tony and I have just begun, but so far, he has been excellent at helping me to define my values and priorities.

Tony has been a great help to me in the past year. I first started in therapy with Tony to address some issues in my life and marriage. This past year, however, he has been very valuable to our family, (and, of course, me,) during a serious mental health crisis with our adult son. So helpful when you just son’t know what to do or how to go about it. Tony’s insight and calming influence is something for which our entire family is grateful. I highly recommend Tony and Better Help!
