My communication style

I try to provide a warm space to engage directly, but with empathy and compassion. I will ask for clarification and explore communication styles and patterns or dynamics that have helped or hindered my client's relationships and attachment styles in the past.

My journey to mental healthcare

I went to family therapy my first year in college, and it quickly resonated with me. I planned to be a high school teacher and soccer coach, but I feel like I have found my fit and ideal career. I enjoy helping others grow and gain insight, which is what therapy has provided for me over the years.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively from a client-centered and strengths-based approach. We discuss goals and check in throughout treatment. I work with flexibility and compassion to support your progress.

Our first session

My first session with a client is best described as an opportunity to share briefly who I am and how I work. I spend this time also getting to know my client's background and history by assessing for core areas of struggles, presenting issues, and areas that impact mental health. I explore strengths, goals, and needs during this time.

I identify as...

• Cis, Male
