 Philosophy of care

I believe that YOU are the expert on your own life.  All healing is self healing, and to that end I see myself as your trusted and compassionate advisor, guide, and coach.  I am with you every step of the way, offering  you tools for transformation.  I encourage and guide you as you follow your own path of healing and personal growth. 

I would like you to take an active role in your care, including working on your issues between sessions.  I also want your continuous feedback about how I am doing in fulfilling our pledge to help you. 

Mine is a holistic approach in which we integrate mind, body and spirit for your highest good.  For those clients who need it, I work in concert with other professionals, such as your primary care doctor, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and school psychologist.  I believe that a team approach to your care is the best approach.
