About me

I am well versed in several counseling techniques and have a compassionate approachable demeanor. My counseling experience is above par and I am also organized with an attention to detail. Clients warm up to me quickly and I enjoy helping them reach goals and learn new thinking patterns to view life in a more positive manner. My therapeutic style incorporates expert listening, positive feedback, direct guidance, and creating an environment where you will feel comfortable to discuss your personal thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a safe place to discuss things that cannot be shared with family, friends, or colleagues. It can also be used for personal growth, increasing emotional intelligence, developing coping skills, and creating positive change in your life. We all have strengths that we can develop, as well as challenges from which we can grow. Each crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth.

Craig offers good real world feedback, motivation and constructive insight and thoughts. He is a person I can relate to who has relatable experiences. I’ve enjoyed working with Craig and have been able to apply our work to my life issues.

The best thing I feel is that Craig is not pushy. He allows me to talk or express what I want without digging really. Very easy to talk to!

Craig has been great with open communication and making a relaxed atmosphere to discuss things. He’s helped me a lot.

I feel that he takes the time to understand and contend with my feelings in a productive way.

Haven't yet had a ton of time. But I will say he is not stingy with the time slot, and it is obvious that he cares about his clients. As someone new to any type of therapy, he does a good job of making it comfortable. Including joking about things, talking about hobbies, and even reading the room so to speak and poking fun at me (I specifically bond with people better when we can joke about eachother a bit) It also helps that he is down to earth and very much admits that he is human and makes mistakes.
