Sharing Hope
About
Hello. I appreciate the opportunity to tell you a bit about myself. I have been working in the mental health field for 25+ years. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill Colege in Philadelphia Pa. For the last 10 years I have worked at a mental health clinic so have worked with many people dealing with a broad range of issues. I have been doing teletherapy for about 2 years now. I feel in some ways it can make the process easier. I have been told that I am very easy to talk to. I believe that it is extremely important that anyone choosing to discuss their issues with a therapist should feel absolutely respected and validated. I know that it takes great courage to talk about your life with someone you barley know. I feel honored when someone chooses to enter into this process with me.
I love people so it brings me great joy when someone says that they have benifitted from the things that we have been talking about. i believe that every person has the right to be cared about and treated with the utmost respect. My goal in therapy is not to be the expert but rather just another person trying to figure things out in this crazy world that we live in. We are all teachers and learners. I really do not believe in telling people specifically what they should do in any situation. I believe that my role is to assist someone in finding out what is true for them and in so doing assist each person in bringing a greater sense of hope into their lives.
