I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the field for over 30 years. In my career I have worked in many different settings with many different populations. I have come to believe that most of us struggle in life due to our environment not fitting us. We do also have a history and that is relevant and critical to where we are at this point in our lives. How we navigate the world we find ourselves in at the present is critical. To be plain we all need to understand our nature. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the setting sometimes what is a strength in one area becomes a weakness in another. And of course the reverse is also true. I jokingly tell people that we all need to figure out what is our ice cream flavor. I see no reason to contribute to peoples feelings that they have something wrong with them. Or that they are not normal. We simply are healthy in our lives or we feel unhealthy in our own lives. My goal is to help people figure out what will make them healthy. Most answers are right in front of us and they make sense when someone help us see them.
My style is straight forward, but hopefully not rude or cruel. I strive to help everyone feel hopeful and empowered. I will explain in as much detail as desired about why I think the way I do about any issue. People want to feel progress so I attempt to help them move forward as quickly as possible. There is no magic. If whatever i say doesn't make sense then challenge me. My goal is to simple help you meet your goal.
My primary intervention style is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I borrow from many other styles when i feel it is appropriate, but I find that CBT is the most logical framework to best help people.
My areas of expertise:
ADHD
Depression
Anxiety
OCD
Relationship Issues
Parenting issues
Grief
Behavioral Problems
Other areas of experience include:
I also work a great deal with LGBTQ issues, Work place issues, PTSD, Military and Veterans Issues. I also work with anger issues, divorce issues, and co-parenting problems. I have seen a lot of things in 30 years. If someone wants to find out if I have worked with their issue and I am comfortable helping them I welcome them contacting me to ask.

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.

Very professional and kind. Jeff definitely understands how to approach my needs and develop strategies to cope with my issues. Highly recommend!
I’ve worked with Jeff for almost a year whilst I was going through a really tough time at home with various life issues. His calm positive nature combined with his logical feedback and thought process has really helped equip me to adapt and evolve through my situation and come out the other side stronger and resilient. Thanks Jeff for everything
I can’t thank him enough for the amount of support and advice he has provided for me. He’s very down to earth, and isn’t afraid of telling me what I need to know even if I don’t want to hear it. He also lets me take the lead and talk about problems i’m having in each session, while also suggesting other topics we need to focus on.
Jeff is a great individual & a pleasure to work & talk with. 10/10 recommended all the way around.
So happy to have him in my life right now. He is so helpful.
