How We Work Together
Seeking relief from suffering, and getting the help you need, is the first step toward growth and a much more fulfilling and happier future. My number one goal is to help everyone I work with in a very real and personal way. We sit together, you talk, and I carefully listen responding in a truly connected way. I want to know who you authentically are. I do care. I don’t make any assumptions. I am present to hear your life story as best as you can express it. We are in the moment together. Through a compassionate understanding of who you actually are, and the life challenges that you are presently facing, growth and healing can more readily take place. Problems, disorders, and diagnoses do not define the people I work with. Problems are the challenges we face on the path to a better life. I help people from many diverse walks of life, backgrounds, and all age groups. The goal of therapy is the alleviation of suffering. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
