51 years offering treatment

Licensed in both California & Washington, I have been 50 years in the field of counseling & supervisory education. So in semi-retirement, I have a limited number of spaces. Still, I love working with people actively engaged in improving their relationships, building more confidence or addressing life changes. My style is interactive with a bit of humor; and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, nor do I encourage diagnostic ones. (These are reductionisitic and generally not very helpful.) It takes courage to seek a fulfilling, happier life and step forward into change. If you are ready for that, I am glad to support and facilitate you. PS I do not keep notes; so what is said can be shared with complete confidentiality. Also my intake sessions (just 30 minutes) are for the purpose of checking mutual chemistry for our work together; please let me know immediately if you would like a different therapist. I can help make that happen sooner than later and it saves us both time & effort. Matching to the right therapist is a very large part of session success; so be picky. I look forward to meeting you soon!
