About Me

Russell is a dedicated and compassionate social worker committed to providing individual therapy for people navigating life's challenges. With a warm and collaborative approach, he creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight, and build skills to move toward meaningful change.

​

His practice is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based approaches. Russell draws from therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, tailoring his work to each client's unique needs. Whether navigating a crisis, processing past experiences, or seeking personal growth, Russell is here to support clients every step of the way.

Russell believes that everyone deserves to be heard and understood. Together, clients and Russell will work toward fostering resilience, deepening self-awareness, and cultivating the tools needed to lead a more fulfilling life.

​

If you're ready to take the next step, Russell invites you to reach out. He is here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
