His background includes consulting and training alongside direct clinical work in Hawaii, Florida, and international settings.
His work uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and trauma-informed practices. He describes beginning with a broad assessment that looks at health habits like sleep, exercise, and nutrition as well as stress coping skills. From there he and the person set clear, time-limited goals to address practical problems.
In sessions he emphasizes building rapport, listening closely, and working together on interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills. He aims to help people develop daily routines and mental skills they can use outside of sessions. Progress is tracked and discussed so people and he can decide when to conclude therapy.

How CBT and related practices shape online sessions
CBT is a hands-on approach that looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small experiments to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, phobias, panic, and low mood by teaching step-by-step coping skills and practical exercises to try between sessions.He also uses client-centered and trauma-informed practices that focus on listening, building rapport, and adapting pacing based on a person’s current needs. These approaches aim to make sessions collaborative so the person and therapist decide what methods and homework feel most useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review goals, try CBT techniques where helpful, and adjust methods based on how someone responds. This is a collaborative process that looks at goals, daily routines, and what fits someone’s life.
