About George
Embarking on this journey together, we’ll delve deep into understanding your essence. Through thoughtful questioning, we’ll unravel the intricacies of your systems and behavioral patterns. Exploring your family roots will be a recurring theme, shedding light on your upbringing’s influence. From discussing your sleeping habits to dissecting matters of the heart, no topic is off-limits, including the inevitable conversation about mortality. Our collaboration will peel back layers of your human experience, granting you the invaluable opportunity for introspection.
Research underscores that the bond between therapist and client is paramount for therapeutic success. It transcends methodologies, emphasizing the therapist’s ability to connect with you on a profound level. I aspire to be more than just your guide; I aim to be your confidant, your reflection, and your advocate. While I can provide direct feedback, my approach is imbued with warmth and empathy. I don’t shy away from addressing trauma head-on; every individual, regardless of past experiences, deserves healing and growth.

What clients say
- “I was skeptical of Better Help at first but just went for the first therapist I matched with and I’m so glad I did. George has not only been amazing in sessions but is also very responsive outside of sessions. He allows space to ramble or vent or go off topic at random and guides the conversation based on where your emotions or struggles go. I truly appreciate how subtly direct he is and the way we dive right in without any added fluff or avoidance. 10/10 recommend.”
- “Highly recommend. He made me feel comfortable addressing topics about which I haven’t opened up before, even in therapy.”
