I am an experienced LCSW with over twenty years of counseling. I have worked with individuals as well as couples and typically serve clients over 18. I believe most therapists receive similar education but their personality allows them to approach the art of counseling in their own unique way. As a therapist I believe my clients are the experts in their own life experience and I am there to learn from them and assist them in looking at the ways their experiences have shaped their life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will ask questions about their past experiences as well as the present issues that lead them to seek counseling. We will talk through their goals in counseling as well as how I feel I can help them best achieve those goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I lead with compassion and empathy and understand that the client's experience is unique to them. I am not judgmental nor will I assume to know everything. I will let them set realistic goals regarding the their time in therapy and value their life experience.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work with clients over the age of 18. I enjoy working with those going through life transitions. I have often worked with grief and loss of all types. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who have come to crossroads in life and want to take the time to determine the next step they should take.
