Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My path of becoming a therapist began 19 years ago as a Social Worker. My experience includes but is not limited to state and federal agencies; judicial systems, family court, child protection services, state psychiatric hospitals. In addition, I have utilized my skill sets in federal agencies by assisting military service men and women, veterans and their families with medical, mental health issues or complexed psycho social circumstances. These work experiences led to me wanting to provide help, guidance and treatment to clients in my own therapeutic practice.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
My life's philosophy of striving forward, accomplishing and achieving; tends to overlap with my therapy in several ways. My approach with my client is understanding where the client is; understanding not only where the client has been in terms of life experience and also where the client is seeking to go with their dreams and goals. I will assist my client in overcoming barriers to accomplish what the client set out to achieve.
What does a first session with you look like?
A first session with me will be information sharing and understanding the reason why you decided to explore if therapy is right for you. We will review needs and expectations. We can clarify goals, complete an initial evaluation and then decide if we will move forward with engaging in therapy sessions. Next we can select dates and times for future therapy appointments.
