This guy is awful. Very short temper and seems annoyed a lot of the time. Frequently cuts you off mid sentence and tries to wrap up the session within 15 minutes so he can then bill for the entire hour. The person who seems to need therapy the most is him. He sucks at regulating his own emotions and frequently gets upset.

This provider is incredibly obtuse with minimal EQ. He would frequently get worked up and annoyed during the sessions as if he didn't even want to meet or provide therapy, cutting me off mid-sentence as I was trying to explain my viewpoint or what I was going through. I wouldn't recommend this person for any kind of treatment.

If there was silence longer than 30 seconds during our session, he would cut the session short and say - "So when should we schedule our next session?". Often times this would happen after less than 10 minutes into the session. I later found out that he and Lifestance Health was charging for the full hour for every session. As that was my first time going to see a counselor, I had a terrible experience and put off therapy for another year after things got much, much worse. I can not express how bad of a therapist he is.
