Philosophy of Psychotherapy:
"I approach psychotherapy as a process of collaberation between clients
and therapist which empowers clients to increase self-understanding, to
develop more satisfying relationships, and to find workable solutions
to
life's challenges and problems. Therapy provides a safe,
confidential,
nurturing environment in which to discover new strengths, resolve old
pain,
grow toward greater wholeness, and commit oneself to
change.
It provides opportunites to explore and utilize the interaction of
mind,
body, and spirit to increase well-being.
Fee information:
For self-paying clients, I will negotiate fees based on your individual
situation and availability of reduced fee openings.
