Therapeutic Philosophy
Growth-Based, Relational Healing
The focus of my practice is on relationships. While I see individuals, I have been specially trained in working with relationships. My marriage and family therapy theory is growth based, utilizing the strengths of the individual and their environment to promote healing.
Systemic Understanding
Therapy explores the impact the individual has on their environment as well as the environment's impact upon the individual.
Honoring Perceptions
Agreement is not necessarily the goal, but rather for each person to fully understand, honor, and communicate with the other.
Mindfulness & Calming
Being fully present undoes blocks such as fear, anger, and despair, liberating us from suffering so the past and future can heal.
