I am an easy going, yet upfront and honest Clinician who advocates, educates, and empowers clients to make the best of their circumstances and overcome the impossibilities. I am a family man, professional, and leader in my community.
First session
Our first session is about you! It's about getting to know you, learning your goals and determining the best path forward. I bring a calm presence and nonjudgemental relationship. Simply--I believe the best in everyone. Lets work on it together!
Strengths
When we first connect you will find me to be compassionate, warm, and a deep listener. I listen to gather insight and will ask questions to best understand you. I find myself to be a nonjudgmental person often asking questions with curiosity and genuine interest.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is one motivated to overcome and conquer the challenges that hold us back. I am very interested in helping someone that has a little motivation to grow bit-by-bit, who is interested in pushing themselves to learn new things, a willingness to push past the self-subscribed labels and overcome. I am ready to help someone conquer the fear, the shame, and the weight of yesterday and move forward, sharing vulnerability and readiness to pick up and move forward.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
A structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve mental health.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a structured form of psychotherapy designed to help someone manage intense emotions and harmful behaviors by balancing validation with change-oriented techniques.
Psychoeducation
A therapeutic intervention that teaches you about your mental health diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options. Instead of just sharing information, it equips you with actionable coping skills, empowering you to understand your condition, prevent relapses, and make informed decisions about your care. I am in process of completing the Certified Sex Addiction training; I am now a CSAT-Candidate.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
A short-term, goal-directed method that builds practical solutions rather than analyzing the root causes of problems.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a structured psychotherapy treatment that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and disturbing memories.
