I believe each person is unique and has a story to tell. I want to hear their story. I do my best to provide an empathic atmosphere where a client can feel safe to express any experiences despite the difficulties of it. Therapy will be different for each individual depending upon their needs and temperament. For some individuals; I will say little; provide support; and encouragement. For others; I will be more active by guiding and challenging them to think in new ways. Ultimately; I will be the compass for my clients to help them move towards their desired direction.

I believe in the power of the individual to heal. I apply a wellness model through an integrated approach; which means; not so much structure that we loose sight of the big picture." This is built on psychoanalytic and existential theories of counseling. Knowledge of one's past experience and development is central to understanding and making meaning of one's subjective world. There are a variety of approaches that can be applied in a counseling session; exploring past experience provides a foundation for our client-counselor relationship."
