Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my biography. I am so happy you went with your instinct to start counseling. I have been a Therapist for over 15 years and my specialization is marriage and family therapy. I have over 30 years experience working with people in one capacity or another. I was a substitute teacher at an alternative high school; I was a silver star rescue diver and an EMT-Intermediate; and, I had worked at a psychiatric hospital for people ages 12 through 80 as well in a private psychiatric office. These few noted experiences have led to my capacity to be an empathetic Therapist while helping others achieve their own goals using their own strengths.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will get to know each other. I will hear you and hopefully you will feel comfortable with me.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is being able to empower others. I believe every person has the power and the knowledge of what they need to do to improve their lives. I am here to show you how to do that by communicating with you your needs and together we will come up with a solution.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am an interactive Therapist - one in which you will have conversations with and who will have mutual influence in the direction you want to go. I will recognize and understand what you are going through and make unprejudiced observations while helping you get to the root of your problem so we can focus on changes that are needed.
