About me

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 13 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, although I am not certified in any specific trauma.

My counseling style is open, interactive, and directive specifically as it relates to homework assignments that can keep the client actively working on themselves before their next session. I treat everyone with respect, concern, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I have worked with young adults and geriatrics in dealing with depression, anxiety, and grief issues. I have worked well with teens for over thirteen years and help them to build their self work, mock interviews, teens assigned to a probation officer. I am excited about the client/counselor experience and assisting the client in fulfilling goals while taking the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you by phone, video, and texting/messages.

Dr. Derrick has been the most wonderful therapist. Before I was assigned to him, I had only one other therapist in my lifetime and that therapist was also through BetterHelp and they were no help at all. I have gained so much from being a client with him. He is always so eager to listen to EVERYTHING I have to say. He is always checking in but never makes me feel pressured. I could not imagine a better therapist, genuinely. He is so down to earth and often times I felt like I wasn't just talking to a therapist, but a friend. Dr. Derrick is more than a 5 star therapist, he's a 10!
