With over 40 years' simultaneous experience as a therapist and social worker, I offer practice knowledge combined with working-class life experience. Your change goals will guide our work together. My job is to suggest different choices in the way you think and act in the areas of your life where you are experiencing discomfort.
My style is a very warm yet direct one: Once you are comfortable with me, I won't hesitate to point-out ways in which you might unknowingly self sabotage or contribute to relationship problems. There will be alternatives suggested, and you are free to try-on new behavior patterns which align with your values and lifestyle.
Many of my past clients have taken away previously unknown awareness of how adult behavior echos their home-life as children: They then decide if this suits their current circumstances or want to make changes discussed during sessions. Change can be scary; it can also greatly improve your life's quality.
