First session
In our first session, I’ll share more about my background and the model that I follow. I will then ask you to share a little information about yourself, including why you are seeking counseling and your goals.
Strengths
I am easy going, and extremely easy to talk to. I am respectful of others cultures and beliefs. I believe that I am a good listener.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is one who comes with an open mind and is ready to tackle the source of their problems, and willing to put in the work to work through their issues to resolution. One that is open to taking advice and is willing to change their way of thinking if needed to get to both the core and source of their pain.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to allow the client to change their way of thinking and behaviors to get them to a place of understanding.
Grief Therapy
As someone who lost my 16 year old son, I know the pain firsthand.
Christian Counseling
I do not force my beliefs onto others, nor am I a religious zealot. I am a simple Christian man who believes that there is a reason why I am conscious and breathing in this remarkable vessel called the human body.
Couples Counseling
Both myself and the clients look at the issues causing turmoil, and together we come up with real, workable solutions to get the couple back to a place of peace and harmony.
