The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I approach each client with open-mindedness, compassion, patience, understanding and caring.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Having worked in clinical settings as both a clinician and clinical director, I have gained experience with a wide range of mental health presentations. Over time, my focus naturally shifted towards working with patients who had experienced trauma. However, trauma often co-occurs with other issues, and I have developed proficiency in treating these co-occurring conditions as well.

This was only my first appointment but I know I’ve made the right choice! He is so warm, knowledgeable, and present! He doesn’t believe in trading one addiction for another and takes a fifth step very seriously. If you are truly committed to spiritual healing he is absolutely your man!
