What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

Typically an intake session is rather formatted, as I have to make sure I get all the information I need to ensure I am the right fit for you. Once we determine you are comfortable moving forward with me as your counselor and I determine I am not practicing outside of my scope, we set up a time and date for reoccurring sessions. In a therapy session with me you can expect it to be driven by you. I start by asking about your week and if there is anything you want to make sure we discuss for the day. If there is anything I want to add to the agenda I will let you know. From there we start where you want to begin. I will facilitate discussion and provide a path for you, stopping when necessary, for further processing. I will let you know when we are getting close to the end of our time together and I will give you a challenge for the next week.

I am a provisionally licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have experience working with adults ages 18 and up with substance use and mental health concerns. I am rooted in emotions and values. I utilize mindfulness techniques to help clients become more aware of their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I help clients develop responsibility in their lives and communicate more effectively to enhance both inter- and intrapersonal relationships. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I have experience with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and stress-related concerns. I am here to be someone for you and to help you gain confidence with you are.

We open the session by checking on presenting stressors and emotions. We follow a treatment plan designed to focus on your therapy goals.

Change is often difficult, so my role is to work alongside each person as they navigate through challenges on the way to the life they want for themselves and their loved ones. Each has within them the tools necessary to learn and grow toward a brighter future both personally and in relationships, and it is my privilege to help discover unknown potential and paths forward.  

Whether your concerns are general medical or mental, we will talk openly about them throughout a normal session. I make it comfortable for you to divulge information, and together we come up with specialized improvement plans. My objective is to offer thorough, patient-centered care that is tailored to your specific requirements, regardless of whether I am addressing mental health or general physical issues.

Sesssions with me are collaborative, empathetic, and adaptive to your needs. Some sessions may feel heavy as we delve into difficult topics, and others may feel lighthearted as we discuss your wins and focus on your strengths. I aim to bring a lot of curiosity to our sessions, and to be as open as possible about what I'm seeing and what I think might help.

I'm a therapist in San Francisco specializing in anxiety, men's mental health, and relationship issues. I believe that effective therapy is both insightful and pragmatic - you should come away from therapy sessions with a better understanding of what you're facing, along with some ideas about how to get started on solutions. I help people find new ways of approaching their concerns so that their lives can be more manageable and fulfilling. This may mean having less conflict in your relationship, less anxiety, less negative thoughts, or making some big changes to your day-to-day life. Clients find me to be collaborative, open, and curious. I want to make sure you feel safe to explore difficult topics, and that you always feel I'm on your side, even when I'm challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone.

Once you are an established client, a typical session is fairly client-led. I like to work collaboratively with clients to create goals and then work towards those goals throughout our sessions together. When necessary I will help guide clients during the session, though typically my approach is to follow what feels important to each client.

I believe healing begins when we allow someone else to bear witness to and respond with care to our untold stories. It is only through courageously and honestly exploring our experiences of pain that we are able to break free from old patterns and start on a new path towards wholeness. My desire in the counseling room is to create a safe space for clients to show up with their stories, no matter how scary or painful. Through kind and curious engagement, clients can begin to make sense of their story and its impact not only on the past but also on the present. The importance of engaging my own story began in 2013 when I started on my personal counseling journey. I also spent several years working in the college ministry context and there discovered my passion for walking through life’s ups and downs with young adults. After moving back to my hometown of Orlando, I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. My counseling approach pulls from relational, narrative, and attachment models.

Therapy sessions with me are compassionate and goal-oriented, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions and challenges. I tailor each session to your needs using evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Together, we focus on overcoming obstacles, building resilience, and working toward mental peace and a fulfilling life.

In your first few sessions, you can expect to start developing somatic skills which helps you get to know yourself better and realize core issue(s). We will slow down, notice your body, and learn what your body is saying so you can learn to respond accordingly. You can also expect to recognize and heal unresolved issues from childhood that linger and still impact you as an adult. I will help you notice body sensations, and discover subconscious thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that drive behavioral patterns. From there, you will gain tools to make the change you want for yourself.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with self-doubt? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you ready for change but don't know where to start?

I offer a non-judgmental, trauma-informed environment where you can make the change you want for yourself. Upon your request, I can also help you address your concerns from a faith-based lens.

You will be invited to share your reasons for coming to therapy, some pertinent historical experiences and provide honest information to help me as your counselor to assess your situation. At a minimum you can expect to learn self-awareness, coping skills and boundaries. You will be provided with some homework(i.e. worksheets) to complete after a session. This homework is to aid you in achieving your goals. During your next session, you may share your progress, review your homework (i.e., worksheet) and address any areas where you may have become overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or stuck.
