As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.
Whatever brings you to therapy deserves a professional approach to optimum care. We'll work together as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important that we communicate honestly and openly. Building trust is an important aspect of any relationship, including our therapeutic relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you throughout the entire process.
We'll start with an introductory session; at this time, you’ll have the opportunity to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll work together as a team, seeking multiple solutions. I'll strive to create a welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable, while at times feeling vulnerable, also feeling safe and secure. I'll assist you in establishing S.M.A.R.T. goals. Goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-focused.
