A note from Matthew
Having been in private practice since 2010 and working with clients from diverse backgrounds I have been successful in building trust with clients and ensuring that I am knowledgeable of the issues they present with. People desire to achieve from therapy is hope, solutions, and insight regarding their past. My recent focus has been working with individuals struggling with addiction (substance, alcohol, pornography, etc) but does not exclude other issues. I also like to share that my Christian faith is important in my life and my practice. Humor is also something I feel is therapeutic. We have to Laugh!!
