He works from a strength-based and solution focused, holistic, and mindful counseling approach with adult and adolescent disorders such as Depression, PTSD, ADHD, Anxiety, Personality, and Behavioral issues such as ODD, among others. He is specifically trained in trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy and training resiliency with adolescents and trauma victims, which was completed while working in Germany.

Furthermore, his forte is in interactive and play therapy with children and adolescents that are looking for a different spin on traditional therapy.
He has completed Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training and often utilizes TF-CBT to help individuals who have experienced trauma.

Paul utilizes client and strength-based, solution-focused and narrative approaches to therapy.

I specialize in working with those with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, LGBTQA issues, parenting challenges, behavioral difficulties, anger, phobias, adjustment to life difficulties, and family transitions.
