Hi, I am a Licensed counselor practicing in Virginia. I graduated from Radford University with my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 1992, becoming licensed in 2002. Throughout my years of experience, the most important skill that I feel that I have been able to succeed in is listening to the individuals I work with. So often people do not feel heard, so it is important for people to not only feel heard but also that they are effectively communicating what they are feeling.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the initial session, my intention is to get to know the individual as well as ensure that I understand exactly what it is that they expect out of therapy and what they want help in trying to accomplish. My position is to get to know the person and their needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that one of the biggest strengths that I have as a profession is my desire to hear what others are saying as well as providing a positive and accepting environment for them to work towards their goals and the change in which they desire.
