I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations.

With a Master’s degree in counseling, I’m trained to treat a wide variety of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, and relationship issues. However, my passion is helping stressed out men to overcome their barriers, bad-habits, and insecurities to experience healing and breakthrough. I do so using my training in counseling, my experience in ministry, and my expertise as a trained addiction coach. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

In psychotherapy, you have my full attention to learn how to find the solutions within yourself. I will assist you in becoming the person you want to be and help you cope with life's struggles. I will provide a warm and empathetic atmosphere for you to be open with your feelings so that you can be empowered to reach your goals. We will take this journey together.

What is your dream state like, are you having troubling dreams? Where is happiness at, why are you not content? What lies have you come to believe? Who told you that and why do you believe it to be true? Why do you face the same giants in your life over and over again? Why did you react like that, what did you hear them say? Do you feel estranged from others? How do you fit in and why? My approach is not only to explore what may be hidden in the subconscious, but to find correlations between interactions both with intimate relationships and casuals ones. I use questions as a probe and analysis as the lens to bring about inner knowledge and healing.

Psychotherapy is an exciting process of exploring, discovering, and learning to understand you yourself and applying that wisdom in your living contexts. My psychotherapy is goal oriented – your goal is my goal, my psychotherapy is respectful, natural, relational, professional, and playful. I firmly believe that effective therapy has to be tailored to you. I believe that therapist rather than an advisor, is a guide, coach, who helps you reach your objectives, helps you grow, communicate effectively, and deliver your messages. I believe in diversity, non-binary, gender affirmative approach to therapy.

I specialize in brief therapy, which is a positive form of psychotherapy. This means I help you find strengths to move towards your goals utilizing the least amount of time necessary. Many people can reduce or resolve issues in 8 to 10 sessions. Please know that very complicated issues and trauma often require longer term treatment, which I also offer. Call today to discuss how therapy might be a benefit to you.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.
