Entering this field a bit later in life, it was not without gaining, and continuing to gain, multiple perspectives associated with trials stemming from family of origin, marital, trauma, secondary trauma, relationship, parenting-to raise/parenting-to-prepare, job-related, adoption/reunification, loss, life transition and elder care issues. I know life's journey to be replete with challenges. I also know it to be rich, adventurous, rewarding. I've learned obstacles are more easily negotiated with support and that becoming our own agent of change is not as elusive as it may often seem.
My role, in part, is to provide an environment wherein clients will feel safe and supported, as they identify, and work their way through to, a preferred experience. Both pre- and post-Masters, I have worked with mental health agencies, providing site-, school-and home-based care.
The experience afforded me the opportunity to identify, as a preferred way of working, a solution-oriented, rather than problem-focused approach. While my work is heavily influenced by Narrative, Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused constructs, it is not limited to any one methodology.
