About My Clients
I specialize in Men's mental health and work to help men find purpose and meaning in their lives and healthy ways for them to show their emotions, regardless of others expectations for them. Although this is my specialty it is not my limit, if you feel that you are at a place where you may be searching for purpose or meaning in your life than I hope to help you on your path to find your inner strengths and learn about those meaning that you carry.
My Background and Approach
The tools and experience I bring are things that will be able to be used after each session. I use techniques that are designed for you to take with you and to begin implementing after the sessions when you are ready. We will begin with understanding who we are and thought homework with self reflections. After this initial stage we will learn about the broad decisions in our past that lead us to this point we are at now. This will be categorized with journaling, more thought homework or affirmation rehearsals to change thought patterns. Finally we will accept the reality that if our past choices made us who we are today then we have the power in the present to make the choices for the future we want. This stage will be implementing all exercises up to this point and noticing the small changes that have been made since the start of sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone shows, expresses and holds emotions in different ways and that there is no one way to express emotions the "right way". Journaling works for some but not everyone for example. This means that I will work with you to learn about what is "right" for you not what is perceived as the right thing by others. I will work with you to build inner strengths that were always there and just went unnoticed. I was also someone who felt that they did not have the most confidence or meaning in life and learned to grow my own inner strengths to become confident in who I am today. I believe that all bodies know what to do to heal ourselves, just like when we get a cut our body knows what to do to heal that wound. I believe that mental stressors are the same way and sometimes it can just be a little difficult to understand what our body is trying to say to us to help ourselves heal.
