“I do not answer any questions for you; instead, I help you discover your own answers.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
My path to being a therapist was long and, in the end, rewarding. I previously worked for the Department of Human Services and raised a family. My tenure in graduate school opened my eyes to different forms of therapy and I was drawn to the works of Satir and Frankl as well as CBT. I have worked in an agency and home-based therapy settings. I work well with clients who are in their late teens to adults. I am always searching and learning and I find this a positive in therapy.
What should someone know about working with you?
I do not answer any questions for you; instead, I help you discover your own answers. I do assign homework to help you in this process.
What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
I have learned that the diversity of my clients makes me a better therapist
What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
The most exciting thing to me about the evolving mental health landscape is inclusion of all and the loss of stigma.
