About My Clients
I've spent my career making mental healthcare more accessible, approachable, and applicable to everyday people. If you are one of many people who have a hard time seeking help, I may be a good fit for you. I've tailored my services to minorities and men in particular. And I have extensive experience in medical clinics and with those dealing with various medical problems. This is because I want to break the barriers for those least likeliest to get help.
My Background and Approach
My most recent work has focused on tailoring therapy to men, who often have a hard time talking about themselves or seeking any sort of help. And I heavily study common role expectations for men and women alike, particularly when they contribute to problems. I've spent my career adapting therapy to those who come from different backgrounds, and who may have never focused on their mental health before. I address anxiety, mood problems, or trauma that impacts your relationships, career, or health. I get to know my clients' situation and coping methods that support or burden their mental health. I tailor a plan to improve stress management, mood management, conflict management, interpersonal skills, or problem-solving skills.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My story starts in a loving, but flawed, family and community. No one I knew sought therapy or even talked about mental health in a positive light. But I always knew that I (and the people around me) deserved happiness, connection, and support to reach optimal potential. I saw much strength and talent in my loved ones. But I also saw unhealthy attitudes that led to success in one area of life while failing in another. The people I loved had experienced - but also delivered - emotional pain. My life and environment was also affected. I had to push beyond what I thought I knew, search for guidance in places I wasn't accustomed to, and look within to overcome my struggles and blind spots. What I found was a more grounded sense of identity, confidence, and comfort I could carry with me in any surrounding. I hope I can to that for you too.
