Sometimes I feel like that old Frank Sinatra song, “I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. *” I’ve had so many interesting careers and jobs in my life and they have all come together to contribute to the skills and joy and that I bring to this, my last career, as a therapist.

How did I get so lucky? Meeting people in their times of need, of pain, of indecision is a blessing. Being part of their personal quest is a privilege.

I don’t want to get too sentimental in this, my first blog ever, so I’ll stop before I go any further.

I want to use this blog to share my thoughts with you about the complexities of providing mental health services and the fascination of human experience.

I’m excited about having my own private practice. I have loved my clients and co-workers at agencies I’ve worked at in the past but have not always been comfortable with the policies. Now it’s just me – and you – my present and future clients. Let’s do this work the way it’s supposed to be done!

I LOVE MY JOB – thanks Confusius!
