Therapy is a spiritual journey to me. I see my role as the therapist to be the mirror to the client, reflecting back to them what I hear them saying about their own knowing, essence, passion, pain, and potential. It is my role as the therapist to sit with the client in the midst of his/her journey and allow him/her the opportunity to get to know and see him/herself, which ultimately leads to a process of loving his/herself. This is part of the soul journey: learning to love ourselves which indeed is a rewarding experience.

Ultimately, bringing more balance, safety, and a sense of peace in your daily life while using a relaxed practical real-world approach.
