Each client is unique with his or her own needs and goals. It is critical to understand what each client wants and why, before a therapeutic relationship can be established and therapy move forward. Initial sessions explore goals, time frames, and needs, as well as determine if the therapist and client are a good fit. Therapy may be short or long term. I have had over 35 years of experience and continue to learn. I am credentialed by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, was a clinical member of the Association of Marriage Therapists and worked as an R.N. I have been internationally recognized for my work with Trauma victims and integrate all my extensive learnings in my work with clients. I care about my clients and examine my feelings about them before accepting them as a client. If I cannot care, I realize therapy can't work. I believe caring facilitates healing.
