More than anything else, you should be comfortable with your therapist. Throughout my life, people have commented that they feel relaxed in my presence, that I have a laid-back style with a calming voice. While that is no guarantee of there being a “fit”, it’s an important consideration in choosing someone to work with. The easiest way to test it out is to call me for a free no obligation consultation. I’d love to work with you, but if you don’t feel sufficient connection that is what is important. I have a wealth of experience in life and in working with people. I have a long track record of helping people to overcome obstacles and lead more fulfilling lives. I’ve worked with kids, teenagers and adults. While each population is different, I’ve helped people in a number of settings. I’ve had a lot of exposure to the human condition and the challenges you may be dealing with. I have also been a lifelong learner. From a very young age I’ve sought answers as to why people do some things and not others, and what the meaning of our existence is. I’ve been exposed to many different teachers, many theories along the way. My professional training is as clinical mental health counselor, and I’ll never stop learning with the goal of helping others in mind. As a consequence, I have a robust and comprehensive toolkit available to assist you in getting back on track. In summary, I believe the combination of my interpersonal style, experience, training, and above all my passion to help you overcome challenges can be beneficial to you as you consider your options in taking the next steps towards wellness.
