I’ve always been interested in “what works,” as far as growth and healing is concerned. Maybe I’ve been a tough case, but a lot didn’t work for me, either as a client in psychotherapy looking for relief, or as a psychotherapist wanting to help others find relief. Over the years I’ve trained in many different […]
Do I Need Therapy?
It used to be that only really “crazy” people needed therapy. There was a stigma. There still is, to some extent. Men in particular — loathe to seek help of any kind, from directions to medical care — are less likely than women to go for therapy. And for many people, psychotherapy isn’t really “necessary.” […]
How is Energy Psychotherapy Different From Traditional Psychotherapy?

If I had only had this information earlier, it would […]

Some come because even though they haven’t been officially diagnosed with ADD, they have trouble with focus, organization, procrastination, stress and overwhelm. […]
What Can I Expect In My First Session?
For those who have never seen a psychotherapist or counselor, or don’t know what to expect from someone who does “energy psychotherapy” (whatever that is…!) the prospect of starting can feel intimidating. Here’s how it works in my practice. Our first contact is usually with an email, where you let me know that you’re interested, […]
