Since therapy is about you, I will offer a little about myself. I was born and raised in rural Appalachia. My dad was a steel worker and a solid human being. He was the coach of my little league baseball team and taught me everything about nature. My mom however, was the one who inspired me to become a therapist. She never went to school for psychology, but she was one of the most naturally astute observers of human behavior I have ever known. She had an innate ability to truly see people, and they were drawn to her because of it. Her greatest gift was her discernment: she knew exactly when someone needed a silent, supportive ear and when they needed a practical problem solver. She always gave people precisely what they were seeking, and watching her transform lives just by listening is what made me want to do the same.
