Finding the right therapist can be challenging, and I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about me! My approach is grounded in CBT, Mindfulness, EFT, and IFS, but I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs, making therapy a collaborative and meaningful experience. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate trauma (Family, Religious, Relationship, etc.), relationship dynamics, depression, anxiety, and sexual concerns. I also work closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and specialize in men's issues.
I see clients at New Directions Wellness Center during the following hours: Monday: 10 AM - 7 PM, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 10 AM - 6pm, and Friday: 9 AM - 3 PM. I personally prefer in-person sessions, but I offer online sessions as well!
To connect with me, shoot me a quick email and I will attempt to respond within 24 hours! If you give me a call and don't get me the first time, please leave a voice mail and let me know the best time to reach back out to you. I look forward to working with you!
