I bring 30 years of counseling experience to our time together. My orientation can best be described as eclectic, drawing from rogerian, cognitive behavioral and family systems theory and techniques. Our first session provides the opportunity to decide together whether I am best able to help you accomplish your goals. If you are unsure of who/what would best suit your needs, I will be glad to offer my help in finding the resources you may need.
Some client feedback is as follows:
'You were attentive, efficient, patient, insightful, impartial; you provided a safe, comfortable space in which to work, provided solid boundaries and good guidance but in an unobtrusive way.'
'You conveyed warmth and humor when appropriate, which indicated that your humanity was intact and you were showing up as a whole person.'
