- LPC, LPCC
You are endowed with the power and energy to overcome any obstacle in life but sometimes when overwhelmed with life's challenges, you lose contact with your own power. I can help you regain balance in life and regain forward momentum to living the life you are destined to live. I am particularly interested in working with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, those who are walking through loss, those who are struggling with PTSD or other trauma-related issues, and those struggling with addictions and/or substance abuse.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

could not image a better one for me
Fred is skilled, versatile and patient. I recommend him 100% and I am very picky.
From the moment I spoke with Fred, I felt a powerful connection with him. He just seems to totally understand how my mind works and the way it makes connections and processes situations. He is extremely relatable and empathic to my needs. I strongly recommend him for anyone who is seeking help.
Great help, got me through my COVID depression and on the road to recovery.
Fred is a great counselor! He understands my issues, has great advice. He listens to me as I spill my guts. He has given me some really great information to read and study. I feel he really has my best interest through his .
Fred is a great counselor. He provides great insight with the problems you're experiencing and is very easy to open up to. He provides a bit of humor to shine light on situations in his sessions, which might not be for everyone, and that makes me very comfortable when discussing certain topics with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a male therapist.
Have only been speaking with Fred for a couple of weeks now but it's been fantastic. He is kind, attentive, and wise and just what I was looking for from a counselor. He gives me new perspectives but also allows me to be myself and encourages me at my current stage of growth. Highly recommend working with Fred!
Fred is very relatable, particularly to married men with kids going through family and business difficulties. I only wish I was able to convince my older father to work with him, but I'll take working w him personally.
