I've been in the mental health field for 27 years and have extensive experience working with both children and adults. I also have extensive training in different forms of treatment and have worked in multiple settings including residential, outpatient and crisis.
I'm very person-centered and believe the therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect and honesty is the most important factor in a successful treatment outcome. I use my training and experience to work with each client to develop a program that works for them.
I like to make the first session more casual and focused on building the therapeutic relationship by getting to know each other. Every client is different and unique, and we can discuss both short and long-term goals as well as working together to get to the root of the presenting problems.
