Clientele
My experience over the last 30+ years as a therapist is that I attract and work best with clients that are employable and have relationships in life, but have a trauma history or are going through a major life transition.
About half of my clients are artists of varying modalities and the other half are in the IT, engineering or science industries. I would suggest this indicates I am able to work with a wide variety of people.
Clients that report the highest satisfaction from our therapeutic relationship state that they have become naturally able to channel their emotional, creative and mental energies in self-satisfying and self-preserving ways.

I always enjoy and feel honored to hear my clients' stories and to get to intimately know my clients.
