About me

I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania with over 20 years of experience helping clients with a diverse set of concerns including depression, anxiety, career issues, stress management, substance abuse, work-life balance and bereavement. I believe in a collaborative approach to help clients identify their internal strengths and external resources and to develop tools to not only meet life's challenges, but to thrive despite them. I combine evidenced-based approaches including cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based and solution-focused schools of thought to target troubling symptoms as we work jointly to improve your functioning and overall quality of life.

In your first meeting with me, we will discuss what prompted you to seek counseling, your personal history and current situation along with any symptoms you may be experiencing so that we can lay the foundation to work effectively as a team to establish your treatment goals and to develop a concrete plan for achieving them. This setting is a safe place for personal expression, stabilization and growth. Counseling with me can either be short-term to get help for a personal crisis or longer-term to promote lasting change. I look forward to our productive work together!

Howard has been a great help to me. I've had therapy before, but Howard is the first one to provide me with real tools, documents and material that supports my goals to improve my mental health. He's also available after 5PM, which is great for my work schedule.

Written on Aug 12, 2023 after therapy with Howard for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd

Howard is truly exceptional. Finding a therapist can be difficult but Howard genuinely listens to concerns with a fair and unbiased approach. He consistently checks in and is open to change in direction and various methodologies and therapeutic approach. If it weren't for Howard and his dedication to helping me find resources for my panic/anxiety and checking in, I would not have made the progress I have. I would highly recommend Howard, he is truly one of a kind.
