Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
As a reality-based therapist, I find our basic needs in life to be extremely important as well as remembering we always have a choice/control. Our first few sessions will be gathering information from you. I focus on building trust and rapport with my clients, so the therapeutic process is as comfortable as possible. I will look for patterns of behaviors and explore your past with you. I will educate you and help you to work on acceptance so you can move past your past (as it often times is still controlling us). Lastly, we will use mindfulness to change current unwanted behaviors. The more we know the better off we are! Have you ever wondered why you do what you do, react the way you react or behave the way you behave? Sometimes, we truly do not know. I am here to help you. I have worked many years in law enforcement and can adjust my personality to deal with many diverse situations. My "office" is judgment free! Come see me! I am not your "typical" therapist. I have a very straight forward to point personality and I use humor (when appropriate) to lighten the therapeutic process. Counseling is hard enough as it is, it is even worse if you are uncomfortable. No one is perfect not even us therapist. I love Jesus (and I don't care if you don't) and I say bad words.
