About
As someone with over twenty-seven years of experience with all facets of mental health, as well as substance abuse, I am both well-versed & well-rounded therapeutically. I seek to provide my clients with an open, supportive, and non-judgmental modality of therapy. I seek to encourage authenticity, individuation while providing both long & short terms goals for successful outcomes with clients. Utilizing a simple approach to therapy, which seems to be extremely effective, is to stay where my clients lead & or need me to go...until a solid foundation of trust and commitment are established. I aim for open, direct, honest communication. Active listening is an art which implores me with the ability to gain insight into my client's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how their past experiences may be impacting them now. Imagine waking up and being excited to start your day and jump out of bed? That is my goal for everyone!
