Professional/Personal Statement:
I am a licensed therapist with a strong background in several progressive and effective modes of treatment. I seek to support, strengthen, and educate clients to facilitate insight and change. I have trained and practiced over twenty nine years, working extensively with individuals, couples, and families. I strive to help clients break free from those emotional, psychological, and thought constraints, which impede progress, so they may grow and attain optimum fulfillment in the relationship with self and others. I also have extensive first responder training and experience in the way of crisis intervention, stress reduction, and specific types of support for those who serve in the military, and also for those who are employed by our city, hospital, fire, paramedic, and police departments.
