Areas of Expertise

Counseling

I meet with individuals and couples virtually or in the privacy of my office.
Typically sessions are once a week for 50 minutes.
I have been trained to listen closely to what is being said, to read between the lines, to pay attention to what is NOT being said or quickly hushed over. I reflect back to the client what I heard to clarify my understanding and to check that I understood accurately what was said.

Through this process patients hear differently what they said and can add, subtract, or clarify further. As you have likely experienced yourself it is difficult to express your concerns when you are upset, anxious, worried or sad.

My Approach

I work verbally with clients, but I have also been trained to watch body language: posture; facial expression; eye contact, quality of the voice; choking up; tearing; spontaneous movements of hands, arms or feet. These signs are a signal for me that something is going on inside, stirring and moving the client, particularly if words and mimic or gestures are not congruent.

My goal is to build trust and safety, to create a healing environment for my clients in order to help them to express their problems freely without fear of judgment.
