What It’s Like To Work with Me
CLIENTS DESCRIBE ME AS
warm and friendly, but also straightforward and honest.
I take this work seriously but I’m not particularly uptight (understatement). I curse a little, laugh a lot, and genuinely look forward to seeing my clients.
I’m invested in the people I work with. I’m interested in how that difficult conversation with a family member went, what happened with the job interview, and how you did in the big race you’ve been training for.
HOW I WORK
I’ll meet you where you are.
Maybe you don’t know if you want to stay married. Maybe you’re drinking more than you’d like to admit. You’ve set boundaries but don’t follow through. Or you haven’t ended an affair that you know you need to.
There’s no judgment here.
You can bring the messy, complicated, not so pretty parts of you life. You can be yourself here. I’ll be right there with you.
LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY
Over the years, clients have commented that I am often leaning forward when we're talking. There's no coffee table between us in my office because I've never liked the idea of sitting back and observing quietly. I’m in this with you.
After 25+ years, I’m comfortable having difficult conversations and naming what’s happening in the room. My job isn’t to just nod along. It’s to be honest, engaged, and focused on helping you reach your goals. There’s often a little laughter too. I tend to be blunt and funny at the same time, and I’m a pro at screwing up analogies and idioms!
