Starting therapy might feel intimidating if you have never seen a therapist before. There are several reasons to see a therapist. Many people seek help because they are facing a difficult life challenge and want to benefit from a professional’s guidance and support. Above all, you should expect a therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe (no judgment). No issue is too big or too small to ask for support. Common issues that people seek therapy for are grief and loss, communication and relationships issues, work and career issues, stress, anxiety and depression. You and the therapist decide what you want and/or need to achieve from the counseling. The therapist/client relationship is an equal partnership. My role as a therapist is to offer you insights into your experiences, advice on how to handle issues, and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions.

His therapeutic approach is eclectic. He meets the client where they are and assists them in achieving the goals established by the client and therapist. However, the therapeutic approach that I use most often is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) paired with Positive Psychology Interventions. I believe that most issues can be addressed and resolved by implementing CBT.
