First session
That they can have a fair, two-way conversation with me--where they are heard, understood, and valued. Very often, I have found that clients are thirsting for safety from others--where they are listened to--and not judged. I have found great comfort in the Rudyard Kipling quote, "For the strength of The Wolf is The Pack--and The Strength of The Pack is The Wolf." Don't be a lone wolf. The wisdom of your pack is just an email or phone call away.
Strengths
I have learned the value of helping clients be heard and feel a sense of grace, mercy, care, and concern. While I’ve been helping emergency responder professionals resolve personal issues for well over a decade now—I offer professional counseling to ALL ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA—no matter what you do for a living. Let’s work together to manage difficult emotions, overcome negative thinking, increase confidence, and create more loving relationship with yourself--and those around you.
