Hello, I believe everyone deserves a safe, judgement-free therapeutic space to process Emotions, Fears, Success, Hope, Life Goals, while being validated along the way. I am a white, heterosexual, male, in my late 40s, a newer husband, and father of two young children. Therapy has helped shape and grow my own life. It has also put me on a path to help others strengthen, build, and heal all important life relationships.
I will explore a person ideas and expectations about therapy. We will review therapy session "housekeeping" guidelines. We will get to know one another and begin to collaborate on developing treatment goals/outcomes.
Listening, empathizing, validating, while acting as a positive male role model. Being appropriately direct and highlighting client strengths. Incorporating educational training and life experience into my treatment approach.
My experience has been in both home & outpatient settings. I’ve provided In-person and Telehealth therapy sessions. I view all people, families, communities, as being connected through relationships. The struggles we experience in our daily lives are symptoms of relationship issues that require healing. A Family Therapy Approach results in the strengthening & healing of relationships, Decreasing Anxiety, Learning how to put Self First, & Increasing Self-esteem.
Automatic thoughts are connected to our feelings and then drive our behaviors. Identifying accurate vs inaccurate thought patterns allow for shifts in such behaviors. Through exploring client's strengths; healthier coping strategies can be developed, practiced, and implemented.
Helping clients clearly define and move towards their desired future outcome.
