Would you like to get to the root cause of your unrest without years of therapy? I provide tools and a pathway forward for positive change. Emotional intelligence is a skill that you, or you and your partner, can learn. My job is to identify your strengths and teach you how to clear your roadblocks. Although I work with depression, I'm not your optimal choice if you are having serious suicidal thoughts. In our first session, I'll take the lead in briefly gathering information about your family of origin and your current family and friends. (It's good to have a context for the love and support you already have.) I'll seek understanding of your goals for therapy and how you see the blocks to your success. If it's acceptable to you, I'll introduce at least one tool to begin your progress down your chosen pathway to more joy and peace. My strengths include truly caring about the interesting people I'm allowed to counsel/teach/coach during my sessions. I am given the wonderful opportunity to pass on the most important information and skills I've learned in my lifetime.
