Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I was a first responder for 30 years and developed an interest in psychology. My experience in the emergency medical services allowed me to recognize the mind body connection of both my patients, their families, and of course my coworkers. I found that mindset and emotions played a significant role in how people did in a crisis. This lead me to explore and eventually become licensed as a professional counselor.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am direct and my clients seem to appreciate me getting to the points they want to address, yet sometimes have a difficult time recognizing. I do this through a compassionate lens and I am not afraid to use humor when appropriate.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I have formal education and experience. You most likely have the same. However, my education and experience does not make me the expert on your life. That expertise is yours and yours alone, so collaboration during our time together is important. What brings you to see me are your goals and I view accomplishing those goals like climbing a staircase. Some people take 2 or 3 steps at a time, while others climb their staircase one step at a time. Which ever way you choose to climb your staircase, I will be there each step taken to support your journey to the top of your staircase.
