In my practice, I specifically consider “where” a person is in his or her life as a starting point in the journey toward self empowerment and healing. My approach is integrative and tailored to fit the individual needs of the person who is looking to make changes in their life. I believe that anyone who has the courage to reach out for counseling also has the ability to change their life in positive ways. Attachment theory informs my belief that as human beings we all require safe, secure, meaningful relationships with each other. And, the most important aspect of the counseling relationship for me is in the collaborative nature of the work. I have always believed that the answers to life's most perplexing problems lie within. I incorporate mindfulness into most aspects of the therapeutic process and have observed how much this can help individuals lead a more meaningful and purposeful life.
