Hi! My name is Russell or Rusty or Russ, whichever you prefer. My approach is casual, but also rooted in science. Like an astronaut might say they “always knew they wanted to be an astronaut”, I’ve always known I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve studied the more interesting psychological treatment approaches, like humanistic theory, motivational and mindfulness based approaches, but graduated from a rigorous Psychology program rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. My Master's degree is a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I believe that there’s a framework that fits everyone and every problem, but that good outcomes are rooted in a good therapeutic rapport as well as an approach that actually works. Let’s let your challenges guide our treatment approach, I’m here to listen and help you solve!

Anxiety is one of the leading reasons people seek therapy. Anxiety can keep people from being able to reach their best potential because they focus on what could go wrong instead of what could go right. Life experiences and circumstances inform anxiety experiences. It is so important to have healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, so you are not overwhelmed. I would love to help you learn healthy coping skills to effectively get through struggles you may be going through. I work with adults in individual therapy seeking support for everyday challenges such as stress, life transitions, parenting, and personal growth, gaining self-esteem skills, gaining anger management skills, social anxiety management, and learning to have effective boundaries to name a few. My approach is solution-focused, which means we will work together to identify practical tools and strategies you can begin using right away. Whether you are adjusting to a new role, improving communication, or building healthier habits, I can help you learn skills and strategies to help you be successful. I am here to support and empower you in your therapy goals. For clients who value Christian faith as part of their journey, I also offer Biblical encouragement to help you in your spiritual journey getting through your situation. My goal is to create a supportive and focused space where you can build skills, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency call 911 or go to your nearest ER. Severe and/or frequently severe mental health needs are best served in an in person mental health therapeutic setting.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward after difficult experiences. If that’s where you are, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay that way. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and grounded in genuine human connection. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest without filters, while also working toward meaningful, realistic change. We’ll focus on understanding what’s underneath the stress—patterns, past experiences, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—while building practical tools to help you move forward with more clarity, stability, and hope. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions, and tailor the work to your specific needs and goals. Treatment is always collaborative, and we will regularly check in on what’s working and adjust as needed. You don’t have to feel completely ready to start therapy. It’s common to feel unsure, nervous, or even stuck—that’s something we can work through together. As we go, we’ll focus on building practical skills, insight, and direction at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes, but about creating meaningful, lasting change over time, with the goal of helping you move forward with greater confidence and clarity. At the same time, therapy can remain a resource you return to during more difficult seasons. Support doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. I offer flexible scheduling, with a preference for Monday–Friday appointments, but I’m open to other days and times when needed. I don’t want scheduling to be the reason you don’t reach out. For those who find it meaningful, I can incorporate conversations around meaning, purpose, and hope, including optional use of spiritual or faith-based perspectives. This is always guided by your values and preferences. I strive to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space, and I value open communication about your needs, preferences, and feedback throughout the process. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. If part of you is ready for something to change, that’s enough to start.
