I have worked for over 28 years at County Mental Health, providing therapy to my clients and giving them the gift of therapeutic support. I recently became voluntarily unemployed, aka retirement. However, I don't believe in retirement. I call it "Inspirement." I am now "Inspired, not Retired," sharing my wisdom and experience with fellow travelers on the journey we call Life.
"Therapy should not be theory-driven but relationship-driven." After a lifetime of studying theory, philosophy, and therapy, I incorporate the best and most practical insights I have found into my life and daily sessions. I tend to use some core practices and strategies derived from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT): Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Existential Phenomenology, and Transpersonal Psychology. I intend to identify and remove my client's obstacles to allow the inbuilt seed of life to mature and become fully realized.
Clients can expect to feel understood, accepted, and validated. They will have new thoughts and skills that lead to increased psychological flexibility, effectiveness and feeling great.
