I have 35 years of professional counseling experience across a variety of settings with a variety of clients. I am a veteran which gives me a unique abiity to treat members of the military community. I believe people are growth oriented and as such have the ability to learn to improve their life with the guidance of a skilled professional counselor. I give every client my 100% focus as I look at them holistically, assess their strengths, set goals, and collaborativey work towards achieving their goals in a timely manner.

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

Our first session will include: (1) a brief overview of my training and experience, (2) a review to ensure we have all the required forms completed, (3) an overview of the importance of being organized, on time, completing counseling assignments, and the value of working hard towards one's goals, and (4) the bulk of the time is set aside for the client to tell me as much as they are comfortable with.

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

I approach all clients the same way, focusing on client strengths, colaborating with clients, expressing empathy, and a commitment to working hard to create positive change for the client. i think being organized improves efficiency so each session will begin with agenda setting and each session will end with a summary.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve adult clients who are facing life issues ranging from anxiety to grief to life transitions. My identities as a military veteran and PhD level counselor allow me to provide specific care to members of the military community. Additionally, I have worked in a variety of settings so I understand the mental health care system. I have worked with a variety of clients concerning a variety of counseling concerns.
