Who you'll be speaking with
I have run the gamut and lived to tell the tale. I come from a very diverse background and I bring a lot of unusual experience and understanding to the table.
The main thing to remember is, this is about YOU and what YOU need to talk about. I'll share a little if you like but the focus is on YOU and what YOU need to talk about. It's important to be heard and understood. I'm here to help you do that...to feel better.
My philosophy
Individuality
I respect and value the uniqueness of each person and therefore adapt my conversations to suit your individual needs.
Responsibility
I take your situation seriously and am committed to providing you with the conversational support you need. I offer understanding, support and feedback if desired.
Appreciation
Though conversations will be highly diverse in content and manor, let it be known, I will not tolerate abusive language or intentions (not talking about swearing). I am here to help those who truly just want (need) somebody to talk to.
"I just need somebody to talk to!!!"
Communication Preferences
Different people prefer different types of communication. For example: Subtle and supportive, straight-forward and direct, calm and polite or ranting with colorful language.
You don't have to state a preference. All conversations will be extremely respectful,
of course.
The main point is to be able to express yourself.
What it's About
Compensation
I provide this service to those who just need somebody to talk to. Some people don't have the money to spend for a licensed professional but I KNOW there is a great need. That's why I use a DONATE button only. I suggest a $15, $10, $5 donation (to pay for this website primarily) but not necessary.
Structure
You can try to contact me 'on-the-fly' or schedule an appointment. If you miss your appointment, no worries, just let me know as soon as you can and then re-schedule.
However you reach out to contact me, include the date and time, specifically in regard to your time zone and prefered mode. Let me know how long you'd like to talk,
15 min, 30 min, or 45 min
Transparency
I am transparent in my work and communicate openly and honestly. I value honesty and integrity.
I will try to accomodate all styles of communication and I think you'll find it more helpful than not but if you want to cut the conversation short for any reason, there is no obligation to donate.
"I just need somebody to talk to!!!"
Life can be difficult. Not having somebody to talk to makes it worse. Having somebody to talk to can help with sadness, worries, stress and anger. Give yourself a break and talk it out a little.
