Philosophy:
Clients and I discuss their situations, feelings, goals and needs to develop an understanding of their experiences. We explore various ways to begin changing their experiences towards greater contentment, satisfaction, effectiveness and peace. Emotional support, self-awareness and building coping strength offer the safety and direction clients seek to resolve their distress. My commitment is to provide empathy and dedication in an interactive, collaborative way.
