About My Clients
I find passion in helping clients overcome the stigmas associated with counseling. I particularly find passion in working with males to help them know it is okay to ask for help! Toxic masculinity is real and it impacts how one treats himself and others around him. Our world has the potential to create a lot of stress and havoc. Maybe you're struggling with your sexuality, feeling you have no control , feeling depressed/unmotivated, or drinking or using more drugs than you want.
My Background and Approach
My goal is to walk beside you on this journey; therapy is both a rewarding and challenging process. You can expect to feel validated and comfortable with opening up about your goals and what you wish to gain in therapy. I also want to hear what your particular struggles are and how we can work together for you to conquer these struggles. My goal is for us to be able to work together in a way that suits your particular needs. I feel we all grow in different ways. As a result, my ultimate desire is to work with you in a way that meets your specific needs. Is it possible you really are not ready for therapy or have been suggested/ordered to enter therapy; Motivational Interviewing will help us uncover your desire(s). Are you focused on results as quickly as possible; let's focus on Solution Focused Therapy. Are your thoughts negatively impacting your day to day life; Cognitive Behavioral therapy will help to reframe these negative thoughts.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
With the right tools and motivation in place, anyone can make the changes in their lives they desire. As a counselor, my role is not to judge you; it is to understand your perceptive and your life's experience. I am here to walk beside you during our time together. I see my biggest strength as working with my clients from a person-centered and individualistic standpoint. My experience working with individuals in numerous settings has helped me to work with individuals from all walks of life; those that are court-involved, incarcerated, struggling with addiction, or wanting treatment on their own accord have found benefits working with me. My biggest compliment I receive from clients is "I enjoy our connection." If you do not have a connection with your therapist, it is hard to grow.
