Work HistoryResearch indicates that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful treatment. I retired in 2018 with almost 30 years as a civilian social worker for the United Stated Army, and had several years in geriatric work prior to this. I work to help each client realize his/her inherent value and to find joy in everyday experiences. The client is the greatest asset in each therapeutic relationship. I serve, only, as a guide to help each person to unlock the greatness that is in each and everyone of us. If you could utilize more positive self-talk for getting through the day, enhance your communication with loved ones, improve upon your stress and anger management skills, receive a better night’s sleep, or just need coaching while in pursuit of your goals, then I would like to be of assistance. You may be experiencing negative thoughts that have weighed you down for the last several months or decades. Once an individual allows him/herself permission, then I have learned from both professional and personal experiences, that it is never too late to start feeling better. Let me hear from you,
