Message to clients

I take into account the biological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of a client; while at the same time, allowing you to take the lead in therapy. It is my belief that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives. I do not promise that counseling is an immediate resolution or “fix” to presenting issues; however, I will provide competent care during the term of our counseling relationship. It is my intention to empower you in your growth process to the degree that you are capable of facing life’s challenges in the future without me.
