Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I will introduce myself, and answer any questions you have about therapy if you have never been. We will talk about what to do if the technology fails so there will be no questions, and how we will wrap up the session. I will listen to your explanation of why you are seeking therapy. I may ask clarifying questions to understand the presenting issues, and discover the strengths you have to rely on. We will decide together how to proceed, and what we will focus on in future sessions if you wish to return.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths stem from my education, intuition, life challenges, and great mentoring. I have personal experience with so many of the things that people seek therapy for: illness, child rearing, marital issues, family deaths, suicidality, mental illness, infidelity, bankruptcy and financial challenges, work/life/school balance, addiction, eating disorders, codependency, political division in relationships, separation of a family member. I have worked through all these either personally or with others close to me, forcing me to develop ways to cope through my own personal therapy. I have had several good therapists! Therapy works!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clients have an undiscovered/unexplored spiritual sensitivity that make them feel out of step with the rest of the world. They may have turned to substances in order to deal with that, or become reclusive and underachieving. They have a desire for truth, and their lives don't work for them anymore. They may need to work with physical health issues, relationship issues, conflicts in work or at home. My clients need to be seen and validated, and then they find the strength and motivation to change.
