I have been most fortunate to have worked in the field of psychology, human services and higher education for four decades. Initially, I worked in a college counseling center while maintaining a private practice. Later, I became a professor and chairperson of the human services department while continuing to see clients privately. Through these years, I was able to balance teaching students about psychological principles and techniques while practicing therapy. I have developed programs and courses in Substance Abuse Counseling, Health Psychology and Positive Psychology and have been able to use these methods in counseling. I have learned much over the years sitting and listening deeply and unconditionally to those in therapy. I can offer a safe and open place to explore personal issues, helping to uncover sources of conflict, find clarity, a sense of purpose and meaning, as well as discover individual talents and strengths. I use psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and mindfulness practices. Personally, I have survived serious illness and assisted and supported family members with very serious illnesses and believe I can help others in similar situations. I take the motto ‘that which does not kill me, makes me stronger’ into my sessions as a a guiding principle. As a lifelong learner I have also moved from focusing on psychopathology to a strengths-based model, specifically positive psychology, highlighting one’s strengths and talents and striving towards meaning and purpose more that the condition or diagnosis of an individual.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The initial counseling session is phenomenally important. Clients can expect an open and inviting place, a non-judging zone where any and all issues may be presented safely. Clients can expect a place to identify and describe specific issues and goals, as well as possible strategies to achieve those goals. They can also expect identifying ways that have worked in the past or new ways to move through a difficult time or change self-defeating behaviors. Finally, they can expect a place where hope is unwavering.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring decades of practical experience to the counseling session. I believe this experience is invaluable as I have been able to witness substantial changes in clients over this time. My strengths come from both personal and professional experiences and fit nicely within the humanistic model as I strive to create an accepting and supportive environment, valuing and communicating empathy, genuineness, unconditional positive regard and congruence. I have an unwavering belief that the client can successfully work towards their goals, and have been fortunate to have seen this at work countless times.
