Greetings! I am a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), as well as a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) in Georgia with original roots in Ohio. I am a Vietnam-Era Veteran with experience working with veterans and the homeless population.
Compassion, understanding, empathy, along with a very direct approach to solutions. I have the ability to listen for the "unspoken words", that helps the client and myself get to where we need to be in order for their goals to be reached.
I pray they'll be able to laugh again. I think humor is a good tool to possess if used at the right time and the right moments during sessions. My wife says I miss my calling as a comedian. I want my clients to feel free to laugh, cry, get angry, recover and also to heal. I love helping people, because whether they know it or not, I also learn and grow from listening to my clients. I not only practice therapy I live and apply what I have learned along the way.
