We can do formal skills, but I take a more casual approach because research shows the relationship between us and what you already have to bring to the table is the most important. Mindset is key and we can discuss how yours is working for you.

What sets me apart is that I'm a combat veteran and trauma survivor. I struggled in ways like too many of us do. That's why this isn't "Just a job" for me. I get it, and I can meet you where you are because I've walked in those shoes myself.
I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I take an informal approach to counseling. I like to describe it as having a casual conversation in a safe environment. It’s important that I earn your trust and you feel safe with me. I am straightforward but with care. I will challenge you.
Therapy is a space to feel grounded in which we will work to gain a non-judgmental perspective on your struggles and put our minds together to strategize ways forward.

I take a pragmatic and eclectic approach by integrating psychodynamic theories with evidence-based tools. I draw on treatments ranging from CBT, ACT, and CPT, tailoring treatment to your unique needs and experiences.
