More about Derrick
- 30 years' experience

- LCPC
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and grief. I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and build meaningful connections with others.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I work with clients on self-love, communication, isolation, life purpose, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I also support those facing panic attacks, trauma, divorce, caregiver stress, mood challenges, abandonment fears, financial concerns, impulsivity, and workplace struggles.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and valued. My role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and discover your own strength. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater peace, purpose, and connection in your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
