My Approach to Helping

Everyone has a story. We often fail to see potential strengths in our stories and we overlook our own inner gifts and talents that could assist us in overcoming obstacles. My goal is to help you move from pain to a discovery of your strengths so that you can apply your discoveries to overcome life challenges.
People live in community and clients often find that they are able to conqueror early life messages or negative self messages to more fully communicate with others and to enjoy life.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love seeing the "aaahh" moment in a client's eyes; when s/he realizes that s/he is not alone in this world. There is no greater joy than seeing a client, couple, or family, realize that they can be an authentic human being within the family system and that they can forgive and be forgiven; that they are a valuable member of society.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

The medical community, including the mental health community, is returning to the belief that we cannot treat the parts of our clients but must be aware of the whole person. For example, when working with families in which a member is chronically ill, I counsel and coach the individual and the family, just as a medical doctor would do. We are individuals but we also live in community. When a member of the community is ill with cancer or has a learning issue, we work with the whole person so that s/he can reach her/his full potential in all areas of life. It is a weakness to never admit to having a "weakness"; it is strength to admit that we are part of the whole body, the family, and the community.
