I worked "in the trenches" with my Bachelor of Social Work degree for almost 20 years before returning to grad school to become a therapist. I think these experiences of interacting in homes, schools, hospitals, communities, and crisis situations led me to be a well-rounded and open-minded therapist.
I pride myself on the ability to meet clients wherever they are in their process; I can adapt to whatever therapy, interaction, or learning style works best for them. With me, you will get a laidback, empathetic, and patient therapist who likes to insert a little dark humor when appropriate. You will receive gentle nudging to ensure progress while being aware of comfort levels and readiness to approach certain issues.
I believe that no one is all good or all bad; rather, we are a result of the patterns, behaviors, and skills we have learned over the years. I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge and skills that they have in the moment. The process is not about judgment or blame; it is about identifying what is working and what is not in order to make changes identified by you.
