An ideal client would be open to an honest exchange of information and communication.
I have 29 years of experience in a wide array of issues from child and family trauma, veterans issues, and learning issues including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am passionate about helping others due to my personal journey where I have come out on the other side to find confidence and pure joy in my life and I wish that path for everyone.
I enjoy working with all people. You will be entering a judge-free zone. I love learning from my clients as we exchange and grow together.

In our first few sessions, I want to begin a counseling relationship with a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses and an idea of your "life script". I find it helpful in understanding where you are mentally and emotionally by asking you to complete a "life script" which is a series of questions that helps me as a counselor obtain information about the decisions you have made.

My response to the client is specific to the client's needs and can change within and across sessions (Integrative Development Model). This allows for the incorporation of different theoretical approaches as may be needed for the specific client. Within an IDM approach, I may use a series of cognitive behavior methods to bring awareness to the client on how their thoughts and behaviors connect.
