One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

My ideal client is anyone who genuinely wants help and genuinely wants to make a change. Their issues are immaterial.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

The people I work with tend to be navigating life changes and transitions, exploring identity concerns and/or neurodiversity, as well as seeking ways to manage their emotions. Curiosity, openness to new perspectives, and motivation to take action are welcomed. Transition can mean many things: entering the workforce, going to school, beginning/ending a relationship, gender, existential concerns, learning how to "adult" and so much more. I enjoy helping people learn more about themselves and building skills. This helps us know how to take care of ourselves and give us ideas of what to do when life gets messy.

The ideal client is anyone brave enough to put themselves first and ask for help. The ideal client is receptive to the therapeutic process and is direct, open, and vulnerable. They also understand that the therapeutic process takes time, and one does not get there overnight. The ideal client is patient with themselves and can give themselves grace and permission to grow. The client will have the goal of personal self-development and is ready to do the work. The ideal client does not expect me to "fix" them but understands that a clinician is a form of support on their journey and that we will accomplish any goals together.

I’m a father of two kids with three cats and far too many hobbies. I’m proudly a member of Generation X and strongly believe that the 80s gave us some of the best music ever made. Through the ups and downs of my own life, I’ve come to believe that even the most fortunate among us will experience tragedies, failures, and trauma in their lives. These setbacks can challenge us in ways that test or exceed our ability to persevere. But with careful healing, our scars, both literal and metaphorical, can become little more than reminders of what we are capable of overcoming.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

I graduated from Indiana University with a master's degree in social work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, teens, couples, and families.
