Professional Interests/Specialties

Philosophically, my work with clients is shaped by an awareness of the connections and interactions between body, mind and spirit. I draw on this foundation to address the variety of concerns clients have. My goal is to help clients discover new ways of understanding themselves and their problems and to guide them as they make satisfying changes in their lives. I also believe it is a priority to establish a caring relationship with every client that is based on mutual respect and an agreement that there is a good match between the client's needs and my skills.
