Introduction: I really care about my clients and really seek to give them tools to take what they learn home with them. There is little value in feeling better in the counseling office and then going home and still being stuck. I give a lot of handouts and also offer exercises and techniques to help people deal with stress, anxiety and negative thinking.
To see people make progress. I also like to learn new ideas, concepts and skills to impart to people. The human mind and heart fascinates me and I am ever reminded out complex and yet simple we are. I like to offer simple, do-able solutions to people. I seek people as just getting stuck. My job is to get them unstuck. I have seen addicts get sober, the anxious become calm and the depressed start moving again. I see families learn to understand one another. I also have experienced many challenges in life and feel that I am at times, just a few steps ahead of my clients. I know the solutions work, because of my personal experience.
