Philosophy

Therapy from the Heart

I love being a therapist. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your lives and to listen to your stories. I consider it my job to listen actively. That means weaving together the themes from what you tell me and using each thread to create a more meaningful whole. I believe the past is a key component in who we are; it is continuing to shape our lives and can keep us from having the life we want if we are not careful. I love to help my clients figure out what meaning the past holds for them and to take power over their own lives through understanding, insight, and support.

A Different Way to Do Therapy

Many therapists see between 8 and 10 clients per day. This is called “turn and burn” therapy, and it is not a practice I believe in. I can see how this makes money for therapists, but I can’t see how it helps clients.
I believe you deserve my full attention, presence, devotion and care. That is why I see only four or five clients in a day - and never, ever more than six!
