Mindful Tides Therapy was formed to provide an atmosphere for our clients to individualize their goals. We recognized the decrease in quality client care through the “big box” therapy practices that are owned by those who are not clinicians themselves, and it was important for us to provide a safe space for clients to have input into their treatment plans. Our goal is to aid our clients in finding a secure, collaborative, compassionate, and ethical therapy environment. It is a priority for us to provide our team of therapists with the training and work/life balance they need to practice comfortably.

While my training in clinical psychology focused on making the right diagnosis and finding the right treatment, I also believe that, in most cases, the most essential and supportive element of psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship itself, the success of which can depend on intangible qualities like warmth, trust, credibility, openness, rapport, alliance, and authenticity. I believe the process of building a successful therapeutic relationship requires the science of psychotherapy to give way to the art of being human, and so my approach to this process is unique to every individual, couple, and family I work with.

I enjoy working with adult clients who are committed to self development and growth, using a collaborative approach to solving problems and improving self understanding.

I believe that the counselor relationship serves to validate and to empower the client to live the life of their choosing. I approach counseling from a phenomenological perspective, recognizing that the client is the expert of their own experiences. I will work to understand, to collaborate, to guide the client by utilizing the tools in my toolbox and by highlighting the tools the client has in theirs.

Through counseling, we have the opportunity to look at our lives and evaluate them with knowledge instead of assumption. I work with people to instill hope, correct erroneous beliefs, confront harmful behaviors, develop social competencies, mature spiritually and understand their own self-worth. Because each person is uniquely individual, I take an eclectic approach to therapy. I use a variety of therapeutic tools including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), Gestalt techniques, Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT) and client-centered techniques.

I use 14+ years of experience to connect with your struggle, build a foundation of skills, then help you make the changes that will be sustainable. My time as a husband, father, college soccer coach, and brief drifter (LOL) allows me to empathize with many situations, difficulties and strengths.

I'm a pre-licensed mental health therapist.

Prior to working at Carlow, I owned and operated a retail store in Morgantown, West Virginia which often partnered with WVU and LGBTQ+ organizations. I will be providing individual services to adults of all ages. I'm experienced in treating most areas of concern with a specialty in familial-related trauma.

We could all benefit from a non-judgmental person who will listen to us, collaborate and empower us to make changes in our lives. I am a strength based, solution focused therapy. I encourage and support individuals, couples and families to achieve wellness by providing a safe environment for processing emotions mindfully and teaching coping skills. I focus on guiding individuals in cultivating a healthy balance in activities and relationships while learning to cope with life’s stressors. https://www.therapyportal.com/p/transforming15701/.
