Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I did not choose this field, but rather this field has chosen me. A friend of mine admired my qualities as a listener, as being supportive, kind, open minded, calm and positive. He offered me a job working at a crisis hospital with patients going through the most difficult experiences and circumstances. That was thirty years ago. Since then I have gone through graduate school for mental health counseling, received many trainings, certifications, and licenses. I have since worked in a variety of outpatient settings and it makes me fulfilled that I have had a positive impact on many lives.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
As a life long martial artist, yoga student, and musician, as I mature I am more focused on holistic approaches for mind and body. I have attended many trainings on various approaches to counseling, healthy diet, exercise, and supplements. Instead of focusing on pharmaceuticals I am more likely to work with you toward resolving traumatic events and difficult life experiences or changing patterns in your life toward greater success and emotional freedom.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
You may seek counseling for many different reasons and I focus on what your goals and needs are and where you are on your life journey. It may be that you are seeking counseling about work, family, and/or personal relationships. There may have been some patterns that have not worked so well for you. Just talking to an objective person is a great way to reduce stress, learn better skills, and consider new perspectives and options. I am looking forward to discuss and explore with you some methods and strategies for a better life.
I have nearly thirty years’ experience doing social work in various settings. I developed an eclectic theoretical perspective, drawing principles from cognitive, humanistic, Jungian and Adlerian, as well as Eastern sources. My focus is on holistic approaches involving mind and body. I have been described as an intuitive person with special interests in creativity and personal growth. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
