George is a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing for over 35 years.   He provides individual, family and group therapy for adolescents and adults. 

George believes that the power of therapy comes through the understanding of how self-defeating patterns of behavior interfere with our ability to have a happy and productive life.  He believes that focusing and building on our strengths will enhance our functioning and examining our behavior is critical to developing healthy options for ourselves and in our relationships.  George encourages clients to develop different coping strategies to support the hope of change, leading to healing and growth.
