If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Willingness and openness to change are essential characteristics associated with success in therapy. Therapy allows you to understand your personal journey in life, without labels or judgement, in order to experience meaningful and intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and our higher power.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
Although I was very guarded and hesitant when my wife suggested we get help for our marriage, the therapeutic experience allowed me to envision my role as a husband, father and friend in ways that I never imagined existed.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
Identifying desired outcomes, implementing therapeutic interventions that can facilitate change, and assessing effectiveness of process.
