As a licensed counselor with over 25 years of experience in the social service field, I have explored different methods of attaining goals for clients with a wide variety of issues. I have experience working with multicultural clients, clients of varied gender roles, clients with varied sexual orientations of most age ranges, as well as business owners wanting to improve their work environments. I have helped individuals and couples with relationship, addiction, coping and various adjustment issues, as well as behavioral management skills. I view each case as an individual relationship that only develops through trust and honesty and should be based on an understanding that change will only occur through a process rather than an event. It has always been my belief that knowledge and experience are two of the most important concepts in determining the overall value of a therapist; thus I have spent an enormous amount of time, effort and sacrifice in increasing my knowledge base and my understanding of how various therapeutic styles can be applied to help create success. I often use different styles, practices and interventions that match my clients' personalities and issues. I find this to be beneficial, as I change my approach for each client and/or each issue they are faced with.
