Background and approach
His work often centers on anxiety, mood concerns, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. He also supports people navigating LGBT questions, relationship challenges, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He addresses panic attacks, low self-esteem, and problems with motivation or impulsivity.
Sessions draw on several approaches that match what a person needs. He uses client-centered listening to put the person's priorities first, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness to teach present-moment coping skills. He also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change.
Outside of work he enjoys travel, family time, and outings with his partner and their two labradoodles. He offers sessions in multiple formats to fit different schedules and routines.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify goals, and centers what matters most to the individual. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk things through and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches straightforward tools to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and improve coping with stress.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the work evolves with the person's progress.
Online sessions can be practical and flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, on-the-go options for tracking progress or managing moments of distress between sessions.
