 Thanks for visiting my website.  I hope you find here what you are looking for.   

What is a Premium Service therapy practice?   It’s  a CLIENT-FOCUSED practice based on YOUR NEEDS and GOALS that proceeds at YOUR PREFFERED PACE.  You will also benefit from EXTRA SERVICES you may not receive in other offices.   

It’s a CLEAR, COMMON SENSE, SYSTEMATIC, AND RESULTS-ORIENTED process.    

It differentiates among THERAPY, COUNSELING, and SUPPORT.  Which of these might fit your needs?  

Therapy:  the latest and most effective ways to address deeper issues. Counseling:  problem-solving, strategies, and advice for immediate needs. Support:  someone to “check in with” where “yes, it IS all about you.” 

• Appointment intervals and agendas of your choosing 

• Pace of sessions adapted to your preference                                   

• Your goals become our goals as we work together

• Even if you’re not a client, call me.  I’m always glad to listen and answer questions. 

In 28 years of private practice I have spent thousands of hours with clients, developing the “instincts” that come from experience.  At the same time not a single week goes by that I don’t marvel at a new story I hear, a new strength I see, or a different way of viewing the world.  The depth of human resources never stops amazing me, and keeps me loving my work.
