Thank you for taking the moment to get to know me as a therapist and a person. I have been working in mental health for the past 25 years and retired from the federal government in 2025. Now that I am retired I continue to desire to help others make significant changes in their lives.
My clinical experience includes treating the following: marital therapy difficulties; Domestic Violence treatment; trauma; anxiety; depression; and substance use treatment. .
It's my goal and opinion that if I am effective as a therapist that eventually my services will not be needed. Basically I become obsolete as the person that I am working with gains the skills and insight necessary to effectively navigate their life and associated challenges without the need for ongoing services.
First session are rather busy. I have the goal of getting to know someone and their goals for therapy. By the end of the first session I want the person I'm working with to have departed the session with resources or coping skills necessary begin the change in their lives that they desire.
