I work with adults only. My practice is designed for women and men who are committed to their own healing, recovery, and personal development. I work with people in an age range of 24 - 90+.
Qualifications to be in my practice:
- No drug addiction or active alcoholism
- No violence in current life
- Not at medical risk.
- Private practice is not equipped to offer the services of a hospital. For example, a severely underweight person cannot begin her treatment in my practice. A severely malnourished person needs refeeding before she is capable of experiencing the benefits of psychotherapy. Such a person is welcome to come into my practice after she reaches an improved health state including a life-sustaining weight.
- Has a deep desire to be well and a willingness to commit to the healing work ahead
- Is agreeable to work within the structure of a private practice
- Is financially responsible for treatment
- An indefinable sense between you and me that we make a good match.
- The client has a sense of hope and of being in the right place at the right time
