Ideal clients respect the boundaries of the relationship and know when and how to use their therapist (who helps). It's an old joke that people come to therapy because of someone else who really needs it, but to me, we're all a little (or a lot) blind to our own stuff. Therapy is, or should be, a safe place. Most seasoned therapists are still in it because they find it effective and personally gratifying. I guess I'm one.
Mostly you'll find me honest, straight talk, but gentle. My specialty is marital and premarital therapy. I'll see the individual in that context, too.
What's unique about me? Maybe being from a medical family, and having taught grad school, much to pass on. Being a chameleon works, having poor boundaries, oddly enough, is a plus in this field (that's kind of a joke, but not entirely). I'm the mother you never had, the sister, the girlfriend, daughter, mentor. It can be hard.
