As a mental health professional, I have worked with a variety of populations and demographics in hospital, community, home, school, and military settings. I have also previously worked as a banker, athletic coach, and military officer. As my experiences have shaped who I am as a counselor, I have a particular empathy for minority, LGBTQ+, and military clients, though I do consider myself a generalist in my ability to relate to people. Clinically, I address anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as behavioral and attentional issues, in individual therapy with people of all ages and backgrounds.
Often, clinical issues are involved in problems with career, identity, sense of purpose, interpersonal relationships, anger, compulsions, etc. Whatever the case, my approach to helping you will involve setting a goal, identifying steps to reach that goal, as well as finding motivation to take those steps and address any obstacles.
My approach to therapy is informed by extensive training as well as my own experience. As a therapist, I use a scientific and evidence based approach to empower individuals to foster change and acceptance in their own lives. That being said, I am also a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of this process
