Therapist Overview
My focus is on Medicare populations as I am an LCSW. I am an Army veteran and provide services with adults/elderly who face medical, chronic pain, and endure trauma complications. I earned a Certified Addictions Counseling – Level II and interface with dual diagnosis populations. I have faith and provide Christian services due to local demographics, but also provide to an agnostic population. I have been in the field of mental health/substance use disorders for 25 years, provided services for sexual abuse survivors and worked with GLB populations. I mainly provide individual care with some exceptions for couples therapy. My interventions are mainly eclectic but are primarily focused on talk therapy, cognitive, solution focused, strengths based, faith-based, stress management, motivational interviewing along with trauma informed care. I have a lengthy history of working with severe mental illness stabilized with or without medications. A Loftier View Counseling’s best mode of intervention is to provide listening skills, empathy, objective insight, gentle challenging, and coping skills to manage the many obstacles that cloud our ability to see that our aim is infinite.
