Providing therapy, being a listener and helping others in essence found me. I did not initially plan to become a therapist but I am so happy and proud I did. I receive joy from being able to find the right words and work through the issue with my client. Therapy is a very important tool, whether it is intensive treatment or being a supportive ear. I have worked in the helping field for over 20 years. Beginning my career with developmentally delayed, then preventive services, foster care, Autism spectrum and currently providing child and adult psychiatric services. I enjoy the reward of helping! I am licensed to provide treat in New York and Georgia.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first meeting, we will explore the presenting problem and I will collect some background information. This will help me get to know you better and allow us to come up with a plan to meet your treatment needs. As we continue to work together we will assess the progress being made and if any changes need to be made to our treatment plan. With consistent effort and determination, you can develop life long tools to use throughout your healing journey
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my ability to actively listen and guide my clients in improving their own insight. I believe when we are aware we can learn new life skills and actively make the changes to improve how we think about and respond to stressors.
