Lost your confidence? Feeling desperate, angry, confused, frustrated, discontented, worried, sad,? I desire to help everyone overcome their struggles and reach their true potential. It's not always a quick fix, sometimes the answers to these problems are deeper than we know. I strive to help people deal with the deep issues of their life, so that they can push through obstacles and break free from the internal thought patterns that are worsening the pain. I work with people to find a new hope and confidence in themselves and their future. My approach to counseling is one that is person centered, genuine, deep and interactive.
I am uniquely interested in the ongoing journey to recovery, as my own journey teaches me the importance of support and the value of digging deep to find resolutions. I work to help my clients realize that stress, anxiety, anger, loneliness, and inattention are common human problems and there are strategies to overcome them.
Want to learn about why you do what you do? Do you notice mental patterns that are keeping you stuck in a negative cycle? I specialize in helping adults, especially men in professional situations, learn about their how their brain works and with individuals with trauma. Over my 10 years as a therapist I also specialize in EMDR for trauma, ADHD and OCD.
