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

We start with understanding what has happened that led you to decide to contact us now. We look at what pushes and pulls you face such as family, work, relationships, spirituality, medical issues, and physical health. We will work as a team in a safe, supportive environment. We begin to summarize what we've talked about identifying what issues we start to work on. A plan of how we move forward is discussed and we agree to our first plan of action. To continue learning and growing, we plan together activities that will add to what you have been learning. What is then important is that weus decision on specific steps to practice, think about, and see how those help.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I’m practical and humorous blending several therapeutic approaches to fit your situation that feels right and understandable to you. I'm direct and transparent, recommending concrete steps and activities for you to achieve your goals. We do this in session and with homework to carry on the work between sessions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Do you find yourself anxious, stressed, sad? Feeling bombarded with thoughts about what to do, how to get unstuck, how to improve your self-esteem? You may experience these in life transitions such as entering or leaving a relationship, considering a career move, losing a loved one, dealing with chronic illness, or being a caregiver to someone who is ill. Over my fifty years of experience, I work with clients who feel stuck and looking to find their next steps, who find themselves transitioning from one way life has been to another one that can be exciting and scary at the same time.
