Counseling Approach and Clinical Focus:

​

In counseling, Kyle takes an ACT based approach, which incorporates mindfulness in helping individuals move towards what is most valued in one’s life. Kyle has a special interest in working with those with chronic pain and understands that too rarely does care with chronic pain include one’s mental health needs.

​

In his free time, Kyle likes to read, work on perfecting his cup of coffee, and is always happy discovering new music with his cat, Nico.

​

A message from Kyle:

​

In my counseling, I use an Acceptance and Commitment based approach (ACT). ACT incorporates traditional therapies with mindfulness-based skills, while acknowledging that your existing strengths and values are important in moving towards your goals. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship that develops in counseling is an important part of the healing process. I look forward to providing you with an environment in which you feel safe to grow.
