Going to a therapist is hard work. Just thinking about talking through our anxiety, sadness, trauma, or any other issues can be so much that we push the thoughts away. While this can work for a little while, our feelings cannot be ignored for long. Eventually it catches up with us. I am here to reduce those feelings by making counseling the most inviting and comfortable experience possible. We will work together to sort out what is distressing and ways to reduce it so that it no longer has the hold or control over your emotional energy, thoughts, and feelings that it once did.
I dive into the client’s life and experiences to figure out unique and tailored ways to make their daily life better. It is all about baby steps creating momentum.
I have experience with stress, anxiety, adjustment, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotion regulation, identity issues, relationship issues, family issues, veteran issues, college adjustment issues, child abuse, sexual abuse, and combat stress.
My clients often remark on how I am “down to earth,” “real,” and how “I get them.” I am the sarcastic son of a combat veteran/therapist and a speech pathologist that grew up surrounded by empathy and understanding. I inject that upbringing into my sessions and hope that you will make the decision to come make lasting strides toward improved mental health with me.
Be good to yourself!!!
