Relationship. Connection. Electricity.

A strong therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is crucial: it’s the foundation of your journey. In other words, no model of therapy works if we don’t establish a concrete connection with each other.

A relationship strong enough to bend – built on openness, trust, hard work – and flexibility, willingness to explore and expand.

When we do – and we will – the power is UNDENIABLE.

“A tree’s strength lies not with its thick trunk but in the branches that give and sway to take power from the wind. To remain rigid… is to break.”

…Clifford LaMotta

Got Psychobabble?

Sure, I do, if you insist. I prefer Strengths-Based Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

But what you really need is a REAL-LIFE therapist you can connect with. If you don’t have that synchronicity, it doesn’t matter what fancy words somebody throws at you.

You don’t need psychobabble. You need results – and relief. NOW.

 

Exclusivity.

You want to focus on YOU, right?

Wouldn’t it be nice to know you’re not just a client number? That somebody really “gets” you?

I carry a small caseload – BY CHOICE. At some certain point in a caseload, a therapist’s ability to focus mindfully on each client suffers.

When I take you on, you’ll have my absolute full attention. I won’t sacrifice my focus on you to bill more clients while reducing your quality of care.

When we work together, we’ll use “real-life” experience and evidence-based strategies. Your thoughts, both positive and negative, drive your feelings and behavior.

Together, we’ll reframe those thoughts and enhance your coping skills so that, no matter what you’re facing, you can handle it – AND balance the sour so you can enjoy the sweet.

Are you ready for a change? If not now, then when?

To be lost is as legitimate a part of your process as being found. Let’s explore how I can help you move forward until you are no longer interested in looking back.

Hi, I’m Cliff

Challenges make life interesting and…

… overcoming challenges makes life meaningful.

At every age, life will challenge you. There’s no escaping it. But that doesn’t mean you can’t DO something about it – or even enjoy it!

The skills you use, or DO NOT use, and the view you have – of yourself and others – affects your quality of life.

Regardless of the season you’re in, together, we’ll explore and deal with what you can’t control while discovering what you CAN control!

You deserve to savor the best parts, too – and you CAN!

Together, we’ll develop the skills and strategies you need to be your authentic self and to get the most out of everything life has to offer.

My unique life experience and training allow me to offer a valuable perspective that will help you cope, heal, and start truly enjoying life again!

And I’ll be with you every step of the way – with honest, genuine, and compassionate support.
