My communication style

I approach therapy in a comfortable casual manner, using humor and metaphor liberally. Studies have shown that the key factor in counseling outcomes is a strong therapeutic alliance with close rapport. I work hard to help us achieve that type of relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked in engineering, solving problems and making things work better. After getting involved in the study of psychology, my focus turned towards helping people solve their problems and work better.

My goals for you

My goals for you are your goals for you. My clients come to therapy for a reason—something they want to start doing more, stop doing as much, or improve their thoughts and feelings about. Initially, I want to focus on making quick progress on what brought you here.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other. After covering a few formalities, I typically offer clients an opportunity to ask any questions they might have about me, my approach, or therapy in general. Then we'll talk about what you're hoping to accomplish through counseling.
