My Approach to Helping

I believe in the inherent ability of people to create positive change despite what might seem like insurmountable barriers. My method of therapy is individually tailored and holistic in nature. I integrate philosophies from the medical, psychological, family system and self-help communities. My aim is to treat the whole person. I am committed to healing not just the symptoms, but also the underlying problems in order to facilitate self-understanding and permanent change. I provide a counseling environment of confidentially, respect, and non-judgment. My goal is to help individuals and couples to work through life limiting barriers to greater happiness, enhanced self-esteem, hope, and fulfillment.

More Info About My Practice
