Get to know me

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

In our first session we will get to know each other through questions and conversation. You can ask me questions about me, in the therapy context, and I will ask you questions about yourself. As we get to know each other, hopefully you will find I am an empathetic person who you can trust to keep in mind your best interest and listen to you with a nonjudgemental ear.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

People are different. After meeting the client, I will pick an intervention which is appropriate and effective for the client. I am easy to talk to and have a sense of humor at appropriate times. I was a voice, music therapy and piano major in my under graduate school. I taught piano for 20 years and also play the banjo and guitar. In my past life my father taught me to fly his light plane and I actually flew a C140 army transport plane as a civilian. I am an ex army wife and have lived in Louisiana and Hawaii. I still get calls from clients I worked with years ago.
