Dear My Ideal Client, You are a student of the spiritual psychology known as A Course in Miracles, or are "miracle-curious", metaphysically oriented, spiritual but not religious. I'm guessing you feel stuck in some aspect of your life, unable to move forward? Maybe frustrated by some (or all) of your relationships, or desire to make a change but are afraid to do so? Or you are in conflict, wanting others to behave differently. Or you have a life purpose that is not being fulfilled. Or you can’t say no. Whatever it is, you're here because you are willing to take ownership of all of it.

There can be many reasons to consider beginning therapy. We seem to live in a time of increased isolation and alienation, dissatisfaction and unrest.

I have experience working with people who have depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, fears, and a range of mental health challenges. By gaining a deeper understanding of your issues and yourself, we can find relief and a way forward.

Seeking therapy is a sign of personal strength. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life, but would like to do better in one area or another. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. I strive to put people at ease in building the therapeutic relationship. I also greatly value individual differences and approach each client with an open-minded and non-judgmental stance. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of a successful experience in therapy.
