My approach
My approach to therapy focuses on cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness approaches to a holistic recovery from those difficulties in life.
My focus
I work with individuals and specialize in treating addiction, alcohol use, anxiety, autism or Asperger's syndrome, codependency, developmental disorders, and intellectual disability.
My communication style
I communicate in a direct, honest, and supportive manner, drawing upon my extensive experience in crisis response and trauma resolution. My approach balances empathy with practicality, aiming to provide both emotional support and concrete strategies to help you navigate challenges. I listen closely to understand your unique needs and tailor our discussions accordingly. I am blunt in my assessment of helping you.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with completing clinical hours for licensure at Belleview Residential in Milwaukee, WI from June 1995 through May 1998. This experience, along with my 25 years as an EMT-Paramedic, Police Officer, and Crisis Response Professional, has shaped my unique approach to providing mental health services.
My goals for you
My goals for you include addressing problems related to grief, life-cycle or situational adjustment due to catastrophic illness or injury, and facilitating post-traumatic growth. I aim to provide the support and tools necessary for you to navigate challenges and achieve improved mental well-being.
My first session with you
Be honest about what you expect of me and how I may be of service to you.
