My communication style

I feel that the relationship with a client is the most important part of therapy. I strive to ensure that I provide a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere. I am very honest and blunt with my thoughts, offering continual open and honest feedback. Expect to have a conversation, not a one-sided you talk, and I'll listen to the type of session.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping people seems like it has always been a part of my life. In high school, I volunteered for Muscular Dystrophy Camp through college and learned the value that a few moments and a few kind words can help change someone's life.

My goals for you

Goals are continual. Identifying the issues that bring someone to therapy is the first step. Then, making a plan of action to address those issues is the fun part.

Our first session

Usually, a decent getting-to-know-you session and alignment of those values and ideas. I'm a friendly person, but I'm not here to be your friend. I'm not a therapist for everyone. I will set expectations, as expectations are asked of me as well.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
