I have been engaged in supporting adolescent youth, adults & families dealing with substance use issues as well as mental & other behavioral challenges approximately 40 years. I have an eclectic style of practice including the use of writing assignments and other educational strategies in promoting self awareness and examination.
By way of introduction I have been providing counseling support to people for approximately 40 years. My approach is to engage people with unconditional regard and to utilize Rational Emotive therapy as appropriate. I have found that building relationships with people seeking support for their life’s journey requires time, trust and patience.
A first visit is an opportunity to start getting to know one another and to hear what you would like to get from a counseling relationship. It’s also a time to identify what changes or improvements in functioning you hope to see going forward.
