I am an experienced therapist who has worked with people with many different issues and problems. I like what I do. I want to meet people where they are and provide a supportive, safe relationship where they can open up and talk about pressing issues and concerns. Together we can then find new approaches to cope with old problems. I have experience working with older adults in a variety of settings. I received my PhD in Psychology from a school which also which also included training in Christian Theology and Ministry. However I have worked with clients with a variety of spiritual or non spiritual backgrounds.

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

In our first session we will start with a brief introduction. Then we will start looking at who you are and the issues and problems you are facing. Also what you hope to gain from therapy. I will talk about my approach to providing help and assistance in coping with these problems. I will review ground rules for the therapy relationship. Next we will set our next appointment. If the therapy does not feel like a good fit for you we can discuss that as well.

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

I am able to connect, understand, and support people with many kinds of issues and problems. I have over 30 years of experience working as a psychologist and I have worked in a wide variety of settings. I enjoy what I do and like to help people with their problems. I am not critical or quick to judge others. I enjoy getting to know people. I have worked with older adults as well. I have struggled and worked on my own issues so I understand the process from both sides. I like to laugh. I like to work with people who are open to looking into themselves and sharing that knowledge with me in a safe and supportive relationship. We can work together on yourself and your problems.
