Within this safe zone, we work shifting you from stuckness to flourishing.

Will give you a good listening with empathy. No need to for a Holiday Special: my rates are flexible in all seasons. Tell me what you can pay. Call for a complimentary consultation.
I provide empathy. If your insurer or therapist will not reimburse for online therapy of if you have lost your job, then I will see you online (Zoom (encrypted), etc.) for your copay - and/or tell me what you can afford (like with integrity); this offer is subject to availability and scheduling. i give you the empathy you need. Saturday/evenings available.
If you are struggling with being stuck, relationships, lack of emotional energy, trauma, self-defeating behavior, or lack of satisfaction in life, then a powerful conversation with empathy for what is possible can make a profound difference.
