My inspirations for counseling are the following: Carl Rogers (person centered), Carl Whitaker (therapy of the absurd), and Sigmund Freud (latent content). The first two broke the mold and brought-forth humanism into psychotherapy (i.e. talking to a counselor). Both also utterly challenged the traditions of the profession. Regarding Sigmund Freud, his whole concept was to track backwards. What from the past is causing problems in the present? And, exactly why, and how is the past causing one to struggle in the present. It is simply connecting the dots so our lives are less of one big blur; A.K.A. empowerment. Many if not most people were not born having the Golden Egg of Protection - perfect parents, a perfect childhood, and chronic safety and happiness. Therefore, it is important that we identify negative patterns which stem from original mistreatments. I draw heavily on sincerity, human connection (with dignity as the centerpiece), Psychoeducation (providing insight of psychological material/concepts), and intense analysis regarding themes, to include their origins and contributing/causal factors (ie. "Why do these things keep happening to me?"; "Why can't anything work right for me?"). Goals: self-understanding, self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-love. The ultimate goal for me is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). What is this? This is for traumatized people to exercise his or her "trust muscle". Horses possess the ability for deep and sensitive bonds, and even the ability to read different energies. This would be the ultimate tool under my model - trusting and bonding with a sensitive and gentle giant.

What should a new client know about working with you?

A client doesn't need to be previously diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, or PTSD to work with me. I enjoy diagnosing and spreading awareness regarding these conditions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is very unstructured. It is a collaborative effort and not a top-down approach.
