Introduction
Making the decision to make changes in your life can be exhilarating, daunting and anxiety producing. Good on you for not only thinking about a change but initiating the process. As you take the next step; selecting a therapist and making the first appointment, it seems prudent to learn a little about that therapist. What follows is a brief description of the approach I've developed over nearly 50 years of practicing clinical social work. I am still learning. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. In working with clients, I want learn about their journey: what brings them to therapy now, what is working for them, and what doesn’t seem to be working very well. I want to provide an opportunity for clients to pause, reflect, be heard, and collaborate to identify their goals. I strive to provide an atmosphere where they can articulate those values and beliefs and how they can be utilized to help make decisions about what’s important to them. Its also an environment where you may share ambivalence about change as well. Over the years my interest has grown in how we make meaning of our interaction with our world, our families and our partners. Particularly, how do we accommodate change, how do we ‘resist’ change, what are the ‘costs’ of change and what facilitates the change process. ntroduce yourself to prospective clients.
