What sessions feel like

My passion has always been to meet clients where they are and provide them with a safe space to understand themselves and their lives. I wish to normalize therapeutic healing. Through many avenues, this is possible. What typically brings people to therapy is how they feel in the present moment. After analyzing the present, we will take a look into the past, through reflection of your life experiences and the ways in which they have shaped you today. Through this process, we will paint a clearer picture of the future, allowing for hope, motivation, and a path for continued growth. It begins with the first session in which all you have to do is show up as yourself.

As a therapist, my primary focus is to assist my clients in understanding how their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations are all interconnected. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you take problems that are overwhelming and break them up into manageable parts. My approach to therapy sees the client as a whole person. During a typical intake process, I will ask you questions about your health, mental health, work-life balance, and day-to-day responsibilities. This will give me a foundational history for the two of us to begin working on goals that will help you manage your life from a different perspective. In our work together, progress will look like taking small manageable steps toward managing your emotions and work-life balance.

My personal passion is the commitment to ensuring that the miseducation and minimization of mental health. I maintain an array of skills and experiences to guide people on their journey. My aim is always to provide a safe space for all people to feel like their best selves and to enjoy life every step of the way. For nearly any client I’ve had the privilege to work with, it starts with a grounding experience. One must first gauge their needs to assess the skills needed to address them. I walk that path with each client to influence continued growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer education and experience with helping everyday people understand the relationship between their mental, emotional, and physical state, and how these aspects affect their day-to-day lives. People should feel empowered to manage stress, negative thoughts, and adverse experiences. However, many factors hold them back. Through my intervention, I’ve helped to increase emotional awareness and motivation, providing clients with the sense of peace that we all ultimately deserve.

I retired from the Army in 2014. Mental health was a part of my career experience, whether I was coaching/mentoring my soldiers through their own struggles or helping victims of crime. I was always fascinated by the cognitive, behavioral and emotional interactions and how differently we can perceive and react to the same circumstances. Therapy gives me an opportunity to learn from my clients and be a part of helping them find a path that leads to a more fulfilling life. I love dad jokes and bad jokes. I think of an initial session as a getting-to-know-you session while you get a feel for how “pun-tacular” my jokes are. I tend to be client-focused and incorporate elements of mindfulness, CBT assignments, ACT, SFBT, and existential philosophy (such as stoicism).
