Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

There will be no jumping in!! In your first session, I will only ask about basic information, such as education level, family, what kind of hobbies you like, etcetera. There is no need to go into any major problems or traumatic events. It's preferred that you don't and that you just talk about this simple information so that you can see if you are comfortable talking to me, to see if I'm a good fit for you. If you are looking for EMDR, that process will not start until a complete history is done and other prep procedures are done to make sure you're in a good space to do it.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths include listening without judgment, an understanding of military and police culture, and a desire to see a successful end to treatment. I also have a background in substance abuse and spiritual abuse (also known as church hurt).

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients who are ready to put their problems to rest. That may sound odd, but sometimes folks feel they deserve the pain they are going through. Therapy works much better when you are willing to even accept the thought of changing your perspective, changing your mind, and maybe, forgiving yourself. Suggestions will vary depending on client.
