So what's it like to be in therapy with me? If
you talked with clients I've seen in the past,
they'd be likely to tell you I'm a "real person"
-- not a stuffy professional. I don't have a
couch that people lie on and talk about their
childhood wounds, and I don't tell people
they hate their mother! And a lot of times,
it's a lot like sitting and chatting with a good
friend. The difference is that I'm not involved
in your life...so I can be objective.
You won't typically find me telling you what to
do and how to do it, because I don't think
that works for most people. My role is
supportive--you decide to change and you
determine the direction. I guide and support
you in making the changes that work best for
you. And sometimes I can be like a mirror,
reflecting you back to yourself so that you
can see yourself more clearly, or sometimes,
in a new light. I feel strongly that you are the
only "expert" when it comes to you. I believe
we have the answers within us--we just need
some help finding them at times.
Practically, the sessions are 50 minutes long,
and most people come once a week. Some
may come more or less often, depending on
what they need and can afford. I offer
appointment times during the day and also
evenings. I will sometimes work on the
weekends if necessary. Let me know what
your needs are, and I'll do my best to make it
happen. I can be pretty flexible about most
things...the most important thing is that you
get the help you need.
