Giving yourself an opportunity to ask me a question that could benefit you in many different ways. Let's find some motivation and possibly, curb it with some humor and sprinkle it with some experience. if your looking to understand yourself a little better or how to deal with others your in the right place. Free advice for dealing with others would be to first understand yourself. After that, you know how to navigate relationships with others. Maybe a partner. Maybe a co-worker. Maybe some prick down the street. I consider myself an expert at listening and interpreting others problems,goals and being able to navigate a plan that is suitable to individuals. In regards to therapy I am licensed in substance abuse addiction, however have training in relationships, mental health, case management etc. My degree is in applied sciences and i have all NYS certifications. Originally I became a counselor as I wanted to give back as I was struggling in this area. What has kept me in the counseling field is the love of watching others grow, overcome or accept life on life's terms. I have a great sense/understanding of 20th century history in particular the second world war and the geopolitics of WWII and cold war. If you are looking for possibly some answers or guidance on these areas here I am. You will get an honest assessment and answer from me as integrity remains one of the most valuable attributes I possess today. With that being said, if my response seems direct it is only in an attempt to buffer out anything that is irrelevant. Relationships are tricky. Addiction is cunning and insidious. Guidance through these areas we could all use.
