More Info About My Practice

I work with people in a wide range of life situations and ages. I bring a lot of life experience to the conversation, and I am always learning more. I love that about what I do with people. I welcome veterans with Tricare coverage.

You may want to look at historical experiences or current ones, relationship difficulties or work issues. We might work with your patterns of thinking. We might work with your emotional experiences. If it's appropriate, we might use emotionally supporting hypnotherapy.

What I Usually Need to Know to Help

Useful access to deep emotional material always starts on the surface. What's going on in your life right now? What parts do you like? What parts are uncomfortable? Where would you like to be going? The pattern of current life can point to hidden threads waiting to be untangled. We can explore history can if that seems useful. As we work, the path to what's important will reveal itself. For safety, it makes sense for me to know about any complications in your health situation.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

In the end, deciding to do therapy is not an analytical decision. What you are looking for is some sense that some part of you wants to be recognized, a sense that it is now time to remember something you may have forgotten. Therapy is work. Sometimes it's uncomfortable. If you genuinely have no interest in knowing more about who you really are, there's no reason to bother. But if you're curious, the exploration can be useful and worth the effort.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

If you've had a negative experience in therapy, I'm sorry about that. Even if I wasn't there, I feel somehow responsible on behalf of my profession. It's like having a negative experience with water. It can make you less interested in learning to swim. To make it easier to get back in the pool, I like to offer an introductory no-fee chat to people who are considering working with me.
