The clients I focus on have difficulty with many stressors in life. School, divorce, relationship and family issues. Each of these are influenced by many factors that can quickly overwhelm someone. Although each person is different, everyone shares a common trait. They have an innate ability to handle the situation but are just needing the correct tools. All of us need someone in our corner at different points in our lives. None of us are alone. My strength lies in how I approach my job. I treat from a pragmatic perspective. This means that I deal with the situation presented to me by clients in a sensible and realistic way that is based on practicality whether someone is having trouble with their identity as a person or is having trouble navigating an impactful transition such as a divorce. Aside from a varied experience in counseling settings, I have quite a bit of life experience. I have 3 children, one of which has ADHD. I am successfully married and am a total fan of couples and marital counseling. I have also had personal endeavors that have enabled me to have a much wider viewpoint than most.
