My communication style

My communication style is open-ended questions for exploration and statements that can be reframed towards a more positive, practical outlook on life again. I communicate with action-based goals that fit what the client is ready to do or willing to try to implement.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was mentored into a counseling career by my therapist years ago. He saw my natural empathic abilities to help others through difficult times like I had experienced. Through his tutoring with his extensive years of knowledge in counseling, he guided me through his Rogerian skills, CBT methods and Freudian unconscious meaning.

My goals for you

My style of counseling comes with an open mind to exploring the possibilities you want to explore. You may be wanting to trust yourself better or change a career. You may be stuck in a relationship going nowhere. Let's together see what your next steps are.

Our first session

In our first session, I would like to know where you are at in your life, how your past maybe impacting your thoughts and actions. I want to learn how you make decisions for yourself, who in your life can be supportive or be a barrier to your progress. I would like to know what you would like to learn about yourself and explore those goals.
