I am entering my 17th year of clinical counseling. I have worked with addiction, trauma, pre and post incarceration, and more common areas of mental health such as life adjustment, grief, depression and anxiety, stress management, and personal identification.
My approach is to be present and not just to listen but actually to hear what someone is trying communicate. I believe in letting a client know that when you come to therapy, in some way you are seeking answers, direction, or change, and it is my role to walk along side you through your specific journey.
First sessions are about acquiring information related to whatever issue you desire to address, from which we establish a plan of how to get where you want to go, and what it will take from all parties involved to attain your goals.
