About
Derek
Working with people to help improve their lives is a passion for me! My experience includes nearly fifteen years treating substance abuse and addiction, chronic symptoms of trauma, neurodivergent issues such as ADHD and Autism, as well as generalized anxiety and depression. I have effectively worked with hundreds of clients using various tools and approaches depending on individual needs. Everything I do serves the best interest of the person I work with which can include emotional support, validation, problem solving and accountability. I look forward to talking with you.
In my spare time, I love being in the gym and improving my art skills. I'm also rather responsive to demanding cat named Jarvis.
