I had a pretty hard time at school with bullies.  They used to chase me home every day.  I had nightmares, I was terrified, and nobody seemed to know how to help or what to do about it.

When I was in high school, I was having a think about how miserable I had been as a little kid having to invent my own coping skills.  

It really bothered me that there was no one to teach me how to cope – how to ‘get my head together” as we expressed it in the sixties.

From that revelation, sitting on my living room floor, I vowed that I would do something to help people who were in mental or emotional pain.

Please note this is about how I do therapy, other therapists may use different methods or only one method.

Welcome to the journey of therapy.  As your therapist, I will listen; give you information (psycho-education), help you to deal with worries and intrusive thoughts, help you to plan your life and work and set goals (life coaching), and give you strategies for whatever problem you are bringing to the therapy room.
