I would like to describe myself as a guy who likes to collaborate with clients to reach their goals and help guide them to overcome barriers that are stopping them to achieve them. I currently work as a social worker at the VA and meet with veterans who are trying to maintain housing, while also managing mental health and substance abuse issues. Through out my career as a social worker, I've dealt with at risk youths, inmates, and substance abuse, and homeless population. I've come to realize that a lot of people have one thing in common, they all would like to be treated with respect and allow them to have their autonomy. My great listening and problem solving skills with my clients help them to come to solutions to their own problems. That's what a lot of my clients can expect is a person who ask open-ended questions to help them consider things that they normally haven't and challenge their thoughts or desires versus their actions in life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

What clients can expect to happen in our first session is an introduction into services and my experiences as a social worker. I will go over scheduling and what they can expect in treatment so far as discharge, duration of services, therapeutic style, goals in therapy, and a summary and overview of what was covered in each session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider is my good listening and problem solving skills.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

My therapeutic modality is motivational interviewing and this is something that helps me figure out the client's goals and wishes, so I can ask open-ended questions to help them discover barriers that are stopping them from getting there.
