I connect naturally with clients and may say a truth that may be uncomfortable, we will process the uncomfortableness together. I will always respect your decisions, even if I believe that they may not be the best for you. My journey to mental healthcare In hindsight, I was called into this field. I have a mentor who told me I should be a counselor because I would be good at it. I started as a substance abuse counselor in the Navy in 1999 and my skills, approach, and education led me in the direction of not just being a substance abuse counselor but a therapist that can address the issues that human beings face in this thing, we call life. I have heard the cries of people who have been abused, abandoned by family, hurt by life circumstances and I believe we all need a therapist. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative with the client setting their own goals. I may give feedback; however, the decision will always be the client's.
