I like to start with a free one-hour initial counseling consultation in order for us to get to know each other. During the consultation you can share with me what brings you to counseling, while I explain the theoretical framework of my approach and answer any questions you have about my background. We can also complete a minimal amount of paperwork and discuss fees. I offer flexible fee arrangements. Our first meeting is about creating safety so the important work to begin.
The Elegant Solution
Fresh thinking and behavior emerge when one person listens to another with attention, care, and respect without judgment. According to a great teacher, "Every person has done the best that she or he can, given the specific circumstances, and deserves neither blame nor reproach from anyone, including self." Effective counseling reconnects us with our inherent power, confidence, and ability to be close.
