Treatment Philosophy

“I believe that most of us have within us the ability to make the changes we desire, but can really benefit from having an advocate to the process of (emotional, behavioral or cognitive) change and new skills acquisition. Together, my clients and I identify obstacles to growth, and walk the journey of removing them. Sometimes this involves working in some ‘tender’ areas. Because I believe that each of our genetics, personalities and histories are unique, I try to treat each client as an individual and to work from a diverse, integrated, theoretical framework. All clients are treated with the utmost respect and compassion. All races, religions, sexual orientations, sizes, etc. are welcomed into my work. There is no greater satisfaction in my life than seeing my clients become more whole and joyful.”
