I have been in the mental health field since 2007. I was informed when I first started in this field that the average time for people to stay in the field is two years. I am still in the field because helping others is more than a career choice for me, it is my passion in life. Helping others is a personal goal of mine. I look forward to the opportunity. I enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, children, adolescents and teens, from various cultures and backgrounds. Each case and each client is unique in their way and each client is important. My particular areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling and family counseling. I refer to myself as a "simple-minded therapist" which means we will explore simple ways to address the presenting concerns because many times the solutions are so simple they can be easily overlooked. I am a firm believer that holding a conversation is more productive than expounding on theoretical approaches.

First session

In our first session, I will inform you about my methods and my approach. I will listen to your concerns, and access the information in order to formulate a goal for treatment.

Strengths

I feel that my greatest asset is my ability to relate to everyone that I come in contact with. I am non-judgemental and I see the person, not the diagnosis. I speak to the person, not their diagnosis. I want to get to know the person that is in front of me.

Edward makes you feel safe, he's warm, and gives great advice. He doesn't judge or criticize you. I love how he keeps it real and doesn't tell you what you want to hear, he tells you what you need to hear.
