Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 25 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself. I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
A lot of general questions terms of history and desired outcome of counseling. More importantly a welcoming environment where rapport can be easily established and further strengthened.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strength as a therapist is being able to support the wants and needs of the client. I may have a way of solving certain things for myself but every client is different. Recognizing that each client has different skill sets based on personality and their life experiences is vital. I think never of "what would I do" rather how can this particular individual get what they want.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
For over two decades I have practiced Person-centered therapy. Many critics of Person-Centered feel having unconditional positive regard for the client does not allow room for the therapist to challenge client's thoughts and behaviors. This is simply not true. I embrace the autonomy of client's thought process while looking for ways to collaborate a treatment plan that improves resolve and reaches THEIR desired outcome.
