My therapeutic style is eclectic, meaning I can pull from a variety of modalities for identifying and treating trauma and its effects, on both the individual, and the family unit. Building rapport is essential because we tend to do our best when we are having fun. I utilize a personal and individual approach to therapy focusing on determining “cause” behind each client’s distress. I also provide group counseling for Anger Management, Domestic Violence and victims, Parenting, Anxiety, Depression, and a group specifically for Church Pastors affected by secondary trauma.

When life feels overwhelming, persistent worry, anxiety, anger, and sadness can rise up and begin to interfere with your relationships, sleep patterns, eating habits, and overall health. Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined it would. We find ourselves stuck in patterns we don’t fully understand or carrying emotional weight we haven’t quite known how to name.
In my experience, therapy is one of the most courageous and meaningful steps a person can take when they begin to feel overwhelmed, alone, or simply unsure of where to go next.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and although I have been trained in the Rogerian model (interchangeable empathy), I have found that not all clients respond to this model. In my practice, I believe the slogan, "one size fits all" is a misnomer...one size fits one (is my belief). I believe in using a therapeutic model (or models) that will help bring about change and growth for my client. I have found this type of flexibility allows the client to become a better, healthier, and more productive version of themself.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
