About My Clients
I provide therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, exposure to trauma, suicidal thoughts, or domestic violence, among other issues. I enjoy helping individuals try to navigate these issues, in addition to working through everyday struggles, by utilizing a client-centered perspective. While we will work together to identify your specific goals for treatment, we will also work to reduce pain and suffering, while also increasing your sense of overall well-being.
My Background and Approach
Over the past 7 years, I have gained extensive experience working with people of all ages, from various backgrounds and experiences. I enjoy working with everyone and am especially passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I have also partnered with Mindful Therapy Group so am now able to accept insurance. I tend to utilize a client-centered, strengths-based, eclectic approach to treatment that incorporates skills associated with Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I’ve found that elements of each of these can be helpful in working with individuals who are facing challenges. I love having the opportunity to move between each, as dictated by what is and is not working for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a firm believer in having relaxed, natural conversations with folks. To that end, I tend to be pretty easy going and often incorporate laughter into my work. And while I take this work very seriously, I don’t take myself too seriously. Therapy is already especially challenging, so I also attempt to bring more of a casual approach to the work, so as to better balance out the therapeutic process. I also have both personal and professional experience supporting members of the LGBTQ community and/or those experiencing suicidal ideation, so I try to bring as much empathy and support as I can, even though I identify as a straight, white, cis male.
