Therapist of over 30yrs in mental health with past experience as a Supervisor, QA Coordinator, staff and community organizations Trainer. Now in Private Practice working with adults, children, adolescents, couples and groups, in areas of stress and anger management, effective communication, family relationships, grief, life changing events, behavioral and couple issues. My skills are in motivating, communicating and advocating for Client to promote personal and social growth.
My goal as a Therapist is to assist Clients in exploring and understanding issues causing stress. I help Clients explore choices and how they want to address issues in their life. I assist Clients to move forward or learn to live effectively with issues in a positive, healthy manner. I assist Clients in processing what they need to do with their life. My responsibility is to respect the choices my Clients make and to help them understand the affects the choices may have on their life.
Adversity is not a negative thing. It presents the opportunity for thriving and growth. Everyone is responsible for the outcomes of choices they make related to the behaviors they engage in. Blaming others maintains a victim mentality and decreases the ability to become a survivor.
