Are we a good fit?

Success in therapy is dependent on a number of factors, including a good fit between therapist and client. There are hundreds of different therapeutic modalities and psychological theories that therapists can choose from. Add in personal style and truly no two therapists are the same. Different modalities and styles work for different people. You can learn about the specific therapeutic approaches I use HERE. 

My Personality

  • Practical, structured, and goal focused. My belief is that you have come to therapy for a reason so let's work hard together to get you to your goals.

  • I favor neuroscience over more abstract psychological concepts. I often talk about the brain and its role in my client's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

  • I love using metaphors, especially when they're cheesy. 

  • I'm a big picture, holistic thinker. In therapy, this typically means addressing all the puzzle pieces, not just "spot treating" specific issues.

  • I'm a nerd at heart and love when my clients are too.

Clients i work best with

  • Primary issues are anxiety, panic, stress, emotional regulation, self worth, and boundary setting.

  • Those looking for a practical approach.

  • Those who feel ready to dig a bit into the uncomfortable spots and who feel ready to invest time and energy into their emotional health.

  • Those who are open to trying new approaches.

  • Those who resonate with the following statements: 

    • "I feel like I have to be on top of everything and it's overwhelming"​

    • "I just feel not good enough"

    • "I feel like I'm always disappointing others"

    • "I feel like I just can't keep up"

    • "I'm not sure how to set boundaries or prioritize myself"

We might not be a good fit if

Experience has shown my that my style is not best suited to those with the the following:

  • Primary issues are depression or anger.

  • Those struggling to control their use of alcohol, drugs, or marijuana.

  • Those who aren't looking to address any specific issues.

  • Those looking for Christian based counseling.

  • Those who resonate with the following statements: 

    • "It feels like people are out to get me sometimes"​

    • "Nothing seems to go my way"

    • "Things just aren't fair"
