My Approach to Helping

I know how scary it can be when you are facing a problem in your life that you can't solve by yourself. For most of us, reaching out for help is not easy. My approach to therapy centers around the belief that we need CONNECTION in order to heal. This is why most self-help books aren't as effective as they could be. There is a lot of potential good advice out there but in the absence of a supportive and caring connection, most of it is useless.I am an experienced and respected healer and my passion is helping people face crisis and transitions in their lives with support and guidance. You don't have to do it alone! The relationship between the client and myself IS the healing piece. From that connection, you will feel safe and empowered. Then, exploring your problems seems manageable and finding solutions becomes possible.Lastly, Something else I believe very strongly is the potential to use the obstacles in our lives as stepping-stones. Within the framework of a healthy connection, I can help you to create a more fulfilling life.
