Clinical Approach: After 27 years on ambulances, in firehouses, and in trauma rooms, I learned that the time to act is not when everything is in place and conditions are perfect-that moment rarely comes. I bring that same mindset to mental health care: I meet each client exactly where they are and use the resources available right now to move forward. Real progress starts today, not someday.
