About
With over 40 years of combined experience as a therapist and social worker, I offer practical knowledge combined with working-class life experience. Your change goals will guide our work together. My job is to suggest different choices that help you think and act in areas of your life where you are experiencing discomfort. My style is a very warm yet direct one: Once you are comfortable with me, I won't hesitate to point out ways in which you might unknowingly self-sabotage or contribute to your stated problems. Our first session will be an opportunity for you, the client, to evaluate your ability to "open up" to me. As a therapist, I will determine what issue(s) brought you to counseling and what your behavior change goals might be at this initial stage.
