Groups I Work With

I work well with people who are motivated and want some sort of lasting and big change in their life, who will do the work required and are inspired to make changes. I like people who want tools. I use all the tools I can find, and you will need to embrace and practice what works well for you. Let’s fill your emotional tool box with things that inspire and propel you forward. Lots of therapists tell you there aren’t any tools and it literally makes me crazy. I have a 25 year relationship with my husband because of relational tools. I happen to work well with fiery people, big personalities and those with lots of passion. People who are creative, artists, visionaries, etc. Lawyers and techy folks? Yep, you, too. I am not great with quiet people who want me to do all the talking. If you are an introvert, no problem. I love introverts and I learn from you. But this needs to be a back and forth, not me talking at you.

I am not great with people who think in black and white, I need people who can see and live in the gray. If you are black and white and wish to live more in the gray, awesome, I can work with that.

I am not a good fit if you want crisis management. If you come in once every quarter with the same problem, we are not a good fit. I mean, we can talk, but you aren’t really ready to do the work if you come in once every 3 months. If we make headway and you are ready to scale back that’s a totally different story.

This career is intensely personal to me and you are never just another client. You are a unique human who has my full attention.
