My communication style

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and healing, and I am a companion on your journey. My style is very conversational. I avoid sounding clinical, and when I do have to play the clinician card, I explain the psychology behind what I am offering in the session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to serve others, especially adolescents navigating the rough terrain of becoming human. My path led me through teaching and pastoral work, where I discovered most pastors lack counseling training. My faith shapes who I am, but is only part of therapy to the level you want to discuss matters of faith, spirituality, and religion.

My goals for you

Therapy is your journey. I approach it from where you are and where you want to go. Though our past has shaped us, it does not have to define us. We will set goals based on where you want to be and move forward towards them. If there are things in your past hindering progress, we will address them as part of that forward movement.

Our first session

The first session is really about getting to know me. I feel that the relationship with the therapist is critical to the success of therapy. It seems unfair for you to discuss your personal life with a stranger without seeing if the person you are sharing with is a good fit.
