    Frequently asked questions

    Assessment-learning about patients need (based on history) and expectations from therapy. Setting Goal-collaboration with patient to set treatment goals.

    Identifying strengths and abilities to help patients understand emotions and how they impact relationships.

    Assisting patients in identifying personal values and emotions through processing for more effective emotional functioning

    I hold a MS in Professional Counseling and I'm a licended Professional Counselor: training and experience in counseling individuals, couples.  I also have experience in diagnosing and treatment of mental health disorders. I also have training and experience working with patients with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, anger manangment, addictions, and relationship problems.

     I use PayPal and Zelle to bill for services prior to a scheduled appointment.  Sessions are $50 for 55-60 minutes. I also use Doximity and Zoom for sessions.  

    I started wanting to be there for people struggling with mental health or emotional problems.  I have many family members who struggled with anger, trauma, addictions, depression, and anxiety which led me to the field of Mental Health Treatment.   I believe that Talk Therapy (Psychotherapy) is a very valuable tool that is often overlooked that can immensely improve a person’s life.

    I have worked with males and females from the ages of 13 to the elderly population.  I have diagnosed and treated people with a variety Mental Health Disorders to include anxiety, depression, PTSD, Grief, Addictions, and couples counseling.  

    A recent event I was found of was a vacation to Gatlinburg TN with my wife and two children.  It was enjoyable as we were able to spend time together in a peaceful setting.  As a family , had the time to talk about likes and dislikes and discuss matters that were important to use individually and as a family.  My most enjoyable time was watching the sunrise in the mornings over the mountains with my wife.   Wonderful. 

    I would look for an experienced counselor who they feel they can connect with.  I counselor who understands the importance of building a professional relationship with the client.   Change comes from relationships. 

    A customer should examine the areas of experience a counselor presents.  Counselors are aware of their specialties and have experience they can pull from to address individual needs.  Customers should also be aware of (in general) what areas they would like to be addressed and match with the counselors area of focus.  Customers should always select Licensed Counselors as they have a Code of Conduct which they are required to abide by when providing Professional Counseling services.
