What do you love most about your job?
I love working with people. I love seeing changes and seeing people embrace their life with dignity and creativity. I have many years of experience and over the past 22 years I still receive notes from past clients recounting how therapy helped them change their life in a positive manner. One client was agoraphobic, unable to get out of her home. After a few years of therapy, she did standup comedy and film and was able to drive long distances to get to her auditions. That's what I call a successful therapy.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am fiercely independent and a leader in my business. I decided to work in private practice because I love being my own boss!
I trust in my treatment modalities which have proven effective year after year and I like working in this field without interference.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients have many options for therapists. It's difficult to find a therapist that really engages with you and is invested in your positive change. People need a dynamic, alive, and real therapist. People don't need a detached person sitting in front of them hour after hour. I am all for change and the sooner the better. I don't keep clients more than necessary. People "graduate" from therapy with "honors" and embark upon their lives with strength. They can always come back or find me for a tune up session after years of having completed therapy. I also offer some unique techniques that work, like Life Span Integration. My clients leave with a tool bag after therapy that they can continue to use during their lives.
