Hi, I’m Darren! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I completed my education at Grand Valley State University where I obtained my master’s in social work. I also hold a bachelor’s in computer information systems from Sienna Heights University.

My education has afforded me many opportunities to gain experience and skills to help assist others in their most vulnerable time. I have over 10 years of psychotherapy and addiction treatment experience.

I specialize in evidenced-based practices such as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. While my focus is on emotional, psychological, and social well-being, I also provide anger management therapy.

I am a strong believer in self-determination, I understand the rights and needs for an individual to choose his/her own path and advocate for the individual’s choice.

I really enjoy watching sci-fi movies, jogging, listening to music and traveling with my wife of 10 years. Because I like a challenge, I also enjoy taking on DIY projects around the house.
