I have been married to my wonderful wife for over 21 years now. We have five children of various ages from 6 to 20 years. My wife and I have been foster care parents with over 30 children in and out of our home. I have worked as a social worker in many fields. Some are in Mental illnesses, addictions, Home health care social worker, case worker, therapist for all ages.
During the first session, I like to get to know the client and background. We will work on identifying issues and coming up with goals for therapy.
I have many years of experience in the field of children of all ages. I have also worked well with adults that are dealing with parenting issues. I also work well with people that are dealing with addictions.
I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help my clients understand their emotions and issues. I help the client understand where they are coming from and work on developing coping skills to help them with the issues that come up.
