| Practice Description: |
 | Comforting in-person therapy in the fresh air of a home/garden office without unnecessary social contact. Or teletherapy, as preferred. |
With today's challenges, we need more effective and efficient strategies for managing our lives. Whether it is a lifetime of worry, reoccurring depression, or the recent crisis; my gift is empowering people to overcome their obstacles. Share with me what it is like to be you and I will share with you my thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist. Together we will create a plan for safely transforming your negative life experiences into healthier perspectives that will provide lasting relief.
More specifically, each session is likely to include a blend of: 1) Understanding your role in your family and environment (Family Systems), 2) Reprocessing disturbing events for resolution (EMDR), 3) Integrating healthier messages (CBT) and 4) Learning new life skills in areas such as asserting, relaxing, dating, or parenting.
My practice is distinguished by the individual attention I am able to provide in the privacy of a peaceful home and garden setting that overlooks our pond. My flexible hours can adapt to difficult schedules, and between sessions I am able to provide brief consultations as needed. Feel free to call anytime. I look forward to hearing from you.
