Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts. I spent 23 years in the military travelling the world before I retired and decided to commit the rest of my life toward helping others. I have been providing therapy successfully for over six years with many successes for clients who are looking to do the work necessary to live their best life. You can read my reviews on healthgrades.com that have been posted by former clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will go over your concerns and explore your goals. Most times, I use the first session to offer coping skills for clients to practice, as well as a book selection that will best aid them in their self-discovery.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my life experience, education and proven track record when it comes to helping people change their behavior and take action on their goals. I use a framework of evolutionary psychology for clients to understand where they might be getting their urges and motivation from. I like to have people take a personality test and learn about attachment style so that they may better understand their behavior in the relationships in their life that greatly affect their mental health.
