Orientation &
Approach
| My approach
to therapy is collaborative, supportive and systems-oriented. While
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, I am mindful of the ways
our lives today have been influenced and shaped by the families and
communities within which we grew up. We developed understandings and
beliefs about how the world works and where we fit in the world at
an early age. At times those understanding and beliefs serve us well
and at other times they may seem to keep us stuck in patterns that
are no longer working for us. As we learn to understand which of our
thoughts and actions are our own, and which may be those of others,
we become better equipped to experience the joy and fulfillment of
living the life we truly desire to live.

Personal
Comments
| I believe
therapy works and I also believe therapy is a lot of work. I have a
profound respect for those people who enter into the therapeutic
process, engage in the process and stay with it until they meet
their goals. As with other endeavors in life, the whole process can
be challenging, as well as enlightening, and uncomfortable as well
as freeing. The ultimate outcome is generally well worth the time
and effort.
As I
work with clients I am reminded again and again of the incredible
resilience of the human spirit. To witness people moving forward in
their lives with small steps or giant strides is cause for
celebration. It is a unique privilege to watch folks learn to love
and care for themselves, to see them awaken to the wonder of who
they are, and to sit in silent applause was they triumph over areas
in their lives where they once believed they were held hostage.
