He believes that everyone has strength that can aid them at their\nlowest moments in life. His approach is grounded in focusing on each person’s\nstrengths. He also feels “it is important that each of us learn to embrace our\nweakness and areas of growth by acknowledging where we have difficulties. True\nhealing occurs only when people are brave enough to embrace that pain is a normal\npart of life and acknowledge that suffering is a choice.”\nLarry has nearly 25 years of experience in the social service field.

Larry hopes to\nencourage clients to lean into their fears and difficult conversations by being curious\nabout what they don’t understand. \n
