Therapeutic Philosophy:

Each of us is a unique individual with special gifts.  The purpose of therapy is to free us from what blocks our creative potential, be it poor habits, low self-esteem, pain, unhealthy relationship patterns, deep-seated trauma or lack of coping skills.  Becoming who you are truly meant to be is the greatest gift of successful therapy.  Participating in that unfolding process is the richest reward for me as therapist.  At its best, therapy is a sacred relationship in which each partner recognizes and is moved by the mystery of the other and accepts, affirms and rejoices in the sharing.
