My Background and Approach
I achieved a BA of Arts and Sciences in Psychology from the University of Washington. I then served in the Army for almost 4 years. I pursued a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwest Nazarene University. I was initially licensed in 2019 and I passed the exam and supervision requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in 2024. My approach in session is a mix between two modalities; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Logotherapy. I look at behaviors and thought patterns with my clients and encourage them to make choices which are constructively aligned with their goals and values. I challenge clients to take ownership of what they can control. My style is direct, open and honest.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I was raised in the Irish Roman Catholic traditions. I no longer practice but will always consider myself Catholic. I believe everyone has the right to their heritage and belief structure and that no one should be able to put theirs above anyone else's. I lived in Germany for 4 years while my dad was in the Army and visited many of the European countries. I never stayed put very long, so I developed the ability to respectfully interact with a wide variety of people. Respect is a very important concept to me. We are responsible for anything we create. We can only control the self; what we do, what we say, what we think and how we expend emotional energy. We only have the ability to influence others, control of others is an illusion and only goes as far as the individual allows.
