I typically work with male adolescents, young adults, and early-career professionals who often feel pulled by life either unsure or afraid about the direction in which they are currently tracking. Previous experiences with perceived failure have overwhelmed them. Consequently, they have internalized that they are too fragile to endure future adversity. As a result of fear and low self-esteem, the person prefers the predictability of hedging bets of personal investment, which can look like stagnancy or a lack of motivation. The general goals are to increase one's overall mental health and actively construct a more purposeful life.
I primarily utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach although integrate other empirically-embedded skills as needed. I am creative, flexible, and empathic in my approach, as I believe that developing an authentic understanding of a person facilitates the application of skills. It is this combination of science and art that enables personal growth.
Many factors can make thinking about beginning a therapeutic process seem daunting. I have worked collaboratively with people who struggle with many of these factors as they enter therapy and have seen these forces fade throughout the process. I can meet a person whatever their motivation level and work with them to help them achieve a more purposeful life.
