My name is Derek and I am a Master’s Student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I moved across the country from New Hampshire to work at Burning Sage and begin my professional life as a counselor. I have been looking forward to the opportunity to work in this capacity since I started my educational journey, and I am honored to be trusted with the important task of supporting individuals just like you. Choosing to work with me you will receive concerted effort, unconditional positive regard (with some tough love too), and impassioned empathic listening. I am extremely passionate about what can be accomplished during the therapy hour.
