I've been working in the mental health field for over a decade. I began my career in the hospital setting and outpatient clinics, along with forensic case management with adults with severe psychiatric disorders before moving over to working with adolescents and young married men. The circumstances are different but some things remain the same: all are individuals who deserve a fulfilled life and I'm in awe of everyone who takes those steps towards good health.
My approach is behavioral-relational, with a strong emphasis on strengths, skills, and communication - especially with the loved one's in my clients' lives.
The therapeutic relationship is an essential component for any good work to be done, and the therapeutic space can be the necessary setting to try new skills before using them out in the world.
I want you to feel comfortable; I want to know your interests, and what gives you a sense of joy or fulfillment.
We'll also explore what's brought you in, what your family and psychiatric history is, and any particular issues you want to discuss.
