Get To Know Me
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
My experience in the United States Army has influenced my drive to support other veterans. Being a veteran is a unique cultural experience that gives me insight into what other veterans may have experienced during their time in service, during their transition from the military, and with their mental health struggles.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am pretty blunt and straightforward and that shows up in my work as a therapist. If you are looking for someone that will be straight with you, then you've come to the right place.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I generally prefer to take a client-centered approach to therapy and empower clients to take the lead with me there to support.
