My communication style

I have an open and accepting communication style. I often use storytelling and humor to help with perceptual shift and gaining insight into a client's internal process or negative behaviors.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey as a child of chaos born to caring but neglectful parents. Coping through rebellion, defiance, and negative self-perception. I sought substance use to make myself feel better, but found only deepening self-deprecation and depression. I sought therapy and found a better way to care for myself, develop my true self, and heal.

My goals for you

We will identify current and past barriers, trauma, and strengths. Discovery of self-values and concentration on building skills that will match therapeutic goals.

Our first session

The first session will be exploration and identification of our fit together. I will see if we can meet each other's expectations and learn from our histories. There will be identification of self and goal setting.

I identify as...

• Male
• Biracial or Multiracial
• Christian
