Hello! My name is Andrew, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Illinois, Texas, and California. I know it can be intimidating to start a new relationship, especially one with the stigma that precedes mental health. We work out in the gym to strengthen our bodies, and therapy offers opportunities to do the same for our cognitions and emotions.
My approach
I was classically educated as a humanist and trained in psychodynamic theory. I am an existentialist by heart and a creative-practical thinker. My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Gestalt, Humanistic, Mindfulness-Based, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Strength-Based, Trauma-Focused, and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) modalities.
My focus
I specialize in helping individuals, including minors aged 13-17, with issues related to Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Grief, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Relationship Issues, Self-esteem, Self-Harming, Stress, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, and PTSD.
My communication style
I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Through open and honest communication, we will work collaboratively to identify obstacles and develop practical strategies to help you achieve your goals.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life. I can help you identify the changes that will help you overcome obstacles and reach your full potential.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will take the time to understand your unique experiences, concerns, and aspirations. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
