About

Personal statement about my work:

Psychotherapists are sought for their knowledge and expertise regarding working through life challenges and assisting clients in working toward healing psychological and emotional wounds. I believe collaboration and a shared understanding of clients’ challenges and strengths are key to a beneficial therapy experience for each client.  I find that my understanding and full acceptance of a client may lead to a trusting therapeutic relationship and, in turn, to a potential for increased self understanding, desired change, and peace of mind.  In my work as a psychotherapist, I find it rewarding to support clients’ work toward greater clarity, self-acceptance, wholeness and happiness in their lives.
