I consider it an honor and privilege to work with my clients and share in their quest for growth. My first goal with you is to build an authentic and trusting relationship in which your privacy and individuality are respected. Together we will identify and discuss areas of your life you want to reflect on, clarify, strengthen, and change. There may be relationship patterns that are interfering with your development and well- being. My professional style includes being interactive with my client and offering feedback.I particular enjoy and am effective working with people wanting to break addictive/compulsive patterns.
I have worked in recovery for over thirty years. Healing the past and gaining insight into family issues becomes important. Unfortunately, too often the work stops here. A different process is necessary to live life more fully and not come up against the same issues over and over again.
I have twenty-five years of licensed experience working with individuals and couples. I am particularly respectful of unique lifestyles. I know the decision to start therapy is often a difficult one. I applaude your initiative!
