I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland, with more than 25 years of experience empowering individuals to overcome adversity.
Through a non-judgmental and empathetic approach, I foster resilience, positive change, and overall well-being, helping clients achieve a more hopeful and purpose-driven life.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then explore the specific challenges and concerns that bring you to counseling. This will help me understand your unique situation, identify key areas of focus, and develop a personalized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I'll also take this opportunity to explain my approach, answer any questions you may have, and establish a comfortable and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
As a seasoned counselor, my greatest strengths lie in my empathetic understanding, expertise in trauma and addiction, and ability to tailor evidence-based approaches to each client's unique needs. I foster a non-judgmental and collaborative environment, empowering clients to tap into their resilience, develop coping skills, and achieve lasting change.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adult men who have experienced trauma, particularly those who have been impacted by fatherlessness, and are struggling with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. This may include individuals with a history of addiction, criminal justice involvement, and/or those who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. My expertise lies in supporting clients who are seeking a fresh start and are motivated to break cycles of harmful behavior, develop coping skills, and cultivate a more purpose-driven life. I am particularly skilled at working with clients who may be resistant to change or struggling with ambivalence, using evidence-based approaches like Motivational Interviewing to foster engagement and progress.
