Frequently Asked Questions

This is a great question and one I hear frequently. If you find yourself experiencing any of these symptoms regularly, it’s likely that counseling would be helpful to you:

• Feeling stressed out, burned out, or worried all the time.
• Wondering how much more “of this” you can take.
• Isolating yourself and wishing someone would understand what you’re going through.
• Feeling like you can’t express yourself to your family, friends, or loved ones.
• Experiencing more anger frustration than usual.
• Experiencing jealousy or resentment in your personal relationships.
• Pushing people away when they try to support you.
• Drinking more often than you should or drinking more than you intend
• Struggling to keep your head up and mind positive after an injury

Therapy with me is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in real-world tools you can start using immediately. Sessions often focus on:

Addiction & Recovery

• Understanding triggers and habits
• Managing  cravings and emotional vulnerability
• Building a sustainable recovery plan
• Integrating spiritual practices for resilience
• Support for clergy or ministry-related stress

Anxiety & Stress

• Reducing overthinking and worry
• Managing perfectionism and pressure
• Mindfulness and grounding techniques
• Navigating life transitions with clarity

Men’s Issues

• Identity, purpose, and responsibility
• Anger management and emotional regulation
• Relationships, communication, and boundaries
• Work, leadership, and performance stress

Faith-Integrated Counseling (Optional)

For those who want it, I incorporate the client’s own Catholic values—nothing forced, nothing doctrinal—just a deeper alignment between psychological growth and spiritual life.

Well, that is really up to you and the work you put in between our sessions; however, you can expect to receive: 

• Permission to speak without judgement
• Insight into the root of issues
• Improve communication skills
• Skills to boost emotional intelligence 
• Honest feedback from an expert
• Personal and professional growth
