Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

Life is made up of good experiences and bad ones. I am sure many people had bad dates in their past. I know I have!!!! But one thing it never made me do is stop dating, or looking to connect with people. Just like in any relationships, sometimes things do not work out. Some people just don't "fit" together. We cannot give up just because something has not worked out in the past. I encourage you to give therapy with me or someone else a try.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

This process is for you. No one can tell you what is wrong with you, or fix you. The expert on you is you. Therapy is simply a journey of self-discovery, where you develop the tools necessary for you to live your intended life free from worry or regret. Truthfully I am just here to accompany you on the journey.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

It is recommended at the beginning of therapy that sessions take place on a weekly basis. For some clients I am open to a bi-weekly schedule, but I rarely take clients who want to have drop-in services or cannot maintain a regular schedule.

What Makes up a Problem?

A "problem" is anything that prevents you from living life as you want to live it. They can be financial, social, system oriented (family), vocational, or personal. Problem solving involves creating AWARENESS, ACCEPTANCE, making an ASSESSMENT as to possible solutions, and taking ACTION to develop a plan.
