LPC, 9 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed psychotherapist! I specialize in Men’s issues, with several years of experience providing mental health services, primarily to Men. I believe everyone has the potential for change when provided optimal psychoeducation, a space to be vulnerable, and individualized therapies that are driven by genuine warmth and support. Men historically do not seek mental health services because of stigma, fear of not being understood, and limited numbers of male therapists who "get" them.
I will spend some time getting to know you and the issues that brought you into treatment.
A passion for helping others. Highly evolved listening skills. Good powers of observation. Easy to talk to. Authentic. Reliable. Believe in people.
Men’s issues can include mental health and wellness, self-care practices, relationship issues, healthy relationship skills, depression, stress, anxiety, and anger management.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-tested specialized type of psychotherapy shown to be effective for certain types of psychiatric illnesses. CBT suggests that individuals' thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are inextricably linked and affect one another
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, that incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented communication style with particular attention to the language of change.
