I believe in not just giving ok treatment, but the best available. That’s why I love matching your needs with the best type of therapy that’s also backed up with research to definitely be able to help you. With that, you’re still the expert on you and your life, so you bring your experiences and I’ll bring my knowledge, and together we can figure out how to help you figure out how to get exactly what you’re wanting in life. I specialize in working with anxieties, depression, trauma, as well as with teens and parents. I’ve worked with kids most of my life in one form or another doing therapy, mentoring, and teaching English abroad. Whatever is bothering you I’m here to help. LGBTQ friendly. Whatever it is, let me help you, and if there’s something I don’t have the proper expertise in then I also have no problem admitting that and directing you to someone who can help so that you don’t have to waste your time.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is mostly a get-to-know-you session so there's some basic background info I need to gather, primarily who you are, what's going on, and what it is that you're wanting to get out of therapy. Once we got that established then we can jump into helping you with whatever you're wanting help with.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I prefer to give treatment that I don't just think might work for you, but that I KNOW will help you. Therefore, we can just chat about things if you want, but I would much rather problem solve with you and give you specific research-based skills that you can use for the rest of your life to help you weather whatever storms may come your way. So tell me what's going on and I'll do my best to match your needs with a specific treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I like treating whatever you come in with but I particularly love and enjoy working with all forms of anxiety, for I find it uniquely fun. Also, I like to think of myself as young at heart, so I feel like I'm able to connect with and work well with teens, for I've worked with them in one form or another most of my life. In addition to all this, I'm a man of faith myself, so if that's something important to you then we can totally make that an integral part of your treatment if you want, and if you're not then you also don't have to worry about me pushing faith on you either. I'm open-minded enough to accept and apply whatever will make you most comfortable in therapy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Firstly teens. I'll see younger kids too if the parents are willing to be the ones I'm primarily talking with. I also work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD.
