Normally, I would list my degrees and credentials and how I am perfectly qualified to handle any issues. I am a warm individual, but I want you to decide whether or not we will work well together. I will list off my accomplishments at the end for those of you who want to read that long. Some of the things you may want to know from an about page include: Do I know what I am doing? Why do I work with adolescents and clients with trauma and anxiety. The first part will be self evident if you choose to read until the very end. The second part is this: I love working with people that have been through trauma, because it is scary imagining trudging through the black icky stuff that makes up the trauma. Once people come through the other side of it, it is a beautiful thing to witness. I also love working with adolescent guys, because I feel like this particular population gets a bad wrap at times. It seems like the world tells them they can’t when they definitely can. I enjoy taking the journey with people as we explore the unknown together. As with any journey, you will come out smarter and wiser at the end than when we started. However, not all journeys are fun and sometimes, you find yourself with a flat tire or lost. Don’t worry. I will be there to help. That’s what I am here for! I work best with people who want to make changes because they can’t stand being unhappy anymore. I cannot change who you are, but I am willing to help you make some changes. I will not placate people, and I will expect you to work. Even though I expect you to work, I will be there with you with that tire iron or a map to help. We will work through it together. I am not afraid to go to the depths of the heartache and embarrassment, and I have been doing this for so long that nothing surprises me. So, to answer your first question, I know what I am doing, and I do it because I love it. Answer to Question 2:
I have been working with people with mental health problems since 2004. I have experience working with kids since 2002, and there is a reason that I have worked with kids for this long. They are a special population which have unique perspectives. I treasure when a kid is able to see how they are special and realize the importance that they hold. I feel as though kids don’t always have the opportunity to explore or have their voices heard. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the individuals that I have had the opportunity to do so. If you feel that you would like me to be part of your journey, give me a call
