He also provides treatment for co-occurring conditions such as depression and tics/Tourette’s.

He completed advanced training in both the General and Pediatric installments of the IOCDF’s Behavioral Therapy Training Institute and in TLC’s Professional Training Institute. His attention to detail, creativity, and sense of humor inform his approach, and he tailors methods to fit each person seeking help to keep them engaged and working toward results.
