First session
During the first session, we will work on brief introductions and begin exploring and navigating the specific problems you're facing. We will work on creating specific goals that will help direct your treatment.
Strengths
Authenticity and genuineness are key, so being honest and forthright is important to me. I want to be real and transparent with my client's, so they have clear expectations for change and growth.
Ideal clients
I work primarily with individuals experiencing life challenges including men's issues, depression and anxiety related disorders such OCD, adult ADHD, PTSD and complex trauma, as well as issues with relationships including separation/divorce. I'm looking to work with client's who are ready to begin working on making important life changes and open to exploring areas of their life with an honest and open mind.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic modality based out of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The approach helps clients learn to stop avoiding and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. ACT adopts the view that there are valid alternatives to trying to change the way you think, and these include mindful behavior, attention to personal values, and commitment to action.
