Hi...I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working out of San Diego with 16 years experience in severe mental health, private practice, and working with Military dealing with everything from Couples Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction/Recovery, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Trauma, Family Therapy, and working with Adolescents. I'm a former College football player with a 13 year old son who is my everything. I love football and sports and enjoy exercise and being outdoors as my hobbies. More importantly, I'm a Christian believer who does not like religion, if that makes any sense. I believe that love conquers a lot, and my therapy style is a very laid back and relaxed approach with absolutely no judgment, but with great love and understanding.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will try to get an idea of what motivated you to seek therapy. It will be very relaxed and my goal is to provide a safe space for you to feel comfortable in talking about what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss goals towards the end of the session, and I'll make sure that you're zipped back up and not emotionally raw leaving the session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is the energy and space that I provide for Clients to open up and talk. I'm down to earth and laid back, and if I could come to work in a tank top, board shorts, and slippers, that would be my attire. I also have a lot of experience working with anxiety, Couples, addiction/recovery, and depression. With working with the severe mental health community here in San Diego for 8 years, I've learned and developed many effective modalities and interventions to help Client's work though and get on the right side of their mental health. My faith and spiritual beliefs are my greatest gifts I bring as a provider. Being able to step back and see the bigger picture, or the forest through the trees if you will, allows me to approach mental health and therapy from a different perspective that has been very useful and valuable for Clients.
