My Philosophy About a Helping Journey

I have ventured on the journey of therapy many times in my sixty-three years of living. You took a courageous step to come to my web page or call to make an appointment! I am here for you! I am here to help you, to listen to you, and to help you define at your own pace what you want to change and what will work best for you. I believe that we enter into this journey together and we will learn from each other. I may not have all of the answers, but together we can be honest with one another and trust the process. You can always trust me and know that I will not judge you. You can trust me with the most painful experiences from your past, and share with me your fears about the future. I can hold your tears and honor them in moments of silence. I have a sense of humor and can laugh at myself and laugh with you, but never at you.

I will challenge you to go deeper in exploring your self and I will also give you tools to work through what is troubling you. I believe therapy is much more than you coming in and telling me about your week. Even though we may define one problem that you want to change we will continuously strive for balance and integration of your emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual health.
