ABOUT MY SERVICES
“I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, teens & children. I provide therapy in a comfortable, flexible, and down-to-earth manner. I have a sense of humor when appropriate and tend to be easy going, gentle, and supportive. I am honest, non judgmental, a great listener, and highly confidential.
I’ll let you know what I hear going on. I will give you suggestions either for how we can approach your problems together, or for ways you can deal with them yourself. You won’t be alone in the work that we do together – I will be an active participant in your therapy.
If some part of your life is not working for you, maybe you’ve received poor instructions. The good news is we can re-educate ourselves. GOAL: Recover satisfaction in all your relationships, including with- yourself! I can also help when you just need a new perspective on a situation. I’ll tell you if I think that you are following any patterns and suggest ways to interrupt those patterns.
I welcome the opportunity to use my skills to help enhance your existing lifestyle, and to teach you and/or your family members the process for getting the very best out of life.
NOTE: Couples Sessions:
Sometimes crisis can be a wake up call for couples! It screams: THINGS NEED TO CHANGE! Take this opportunity to make necessary life-altering changes and move toward a new, happier chapter in your life!
If this were a life threatening emergency, no one would ask you to wait around for assistance…you would probably take drastic life-saving measures immediately. I will take your relationship crisis seriously!
Typically, we will work together for 1 hour sessions but 2-3 hour sessions and workshops are also offered.
I have found the longer sessions method of working with couples to be far more effective in achieving immediate, sustained, positive change.
I also use the more common practice of meeting for a one-hour therapy session, on a weekly basis, over a certain period of time.
