Renowned therapist Virginia Satir said: "Life is not what it is supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference." It sums up my philosophy of therapy. Life is hard. Coping is hard. Effective coping strategies can bring peace and satisfaction no matter your history, your current challenges, or your future unknowns. How to cope.
I operate an individual practice that focuses entirely on you, the individual. In my office, there are no corporate intake forms, Google surveys, or robo calls. I have over 40 years of experience, both personal and professional, dealing with every sort of life crisis you can think of and many more.
I am a licensed educational diagnostician who can assess ADHD and high functioning autism. Women, in particular, are under diagnosed and reach adulthood wondering "What's wrong with me?" Nothing, actually. There is nothing "wrong" with being different, but it can make life hard. Self-awareness can help. Enlightened emotional support can turn a life around.
