I have been doing mental health work in one capacity or another since 1995. What has kept me in the field isn't the clinical framework per se... it's the consistent experience of watching people gain clarity about themselves and use that clarity to make meaningful changes.
In practice, I'm both warm and direct — sometimes in the same breath. Therapy tends to move better through honest exchange rather than careful neutrality. I believe clients are best served by a therapist who will share what they actually see, without judgment. The people who work with me appreciate both the honesty and the care behind it.
I founded Enlight Counseling to practice the way I believe therapy works most effectively: unhurried and grounded in a real relationship between two or more people trying to understand something together. That includes going where the work needs to go, not just where it's comfortable to stay.
