My philosophy is that I am a teacher and the patient is the student. They are here to learn new ways of making their lives work better. I do not like to label people and work in a holistic manner. I believe that the patient is the most important part of the theraputic relationship and that I am there to assist them in healing.
More Info About My Practice
I have over 25 years of experience working with women in various aspects of healing, from pregnant adolescents to domestic violence survivors. I have worked in the academic field, helping women return to work or school, as a counselor in substance abuse programs, starting with women who are cocaine addicts and continuing my work with male and female addicts. I have worked with domestic violence survivors in and out of the court system. I have worked with batterers in group settings. I was a single mother of two who returned to school and received two degrees while working and caring for my family. I am currently married to my soul mate of 27 years. We make our relationship work by mutual respect and good communication skills. When working with couples, I stress good communication skills as well as respect for each other.
