My focus in working with clients is to explore what prevents them from having the quality of life that they desire.

People are endlessly remaking or discovering themselves; therefore, my clients and I work together to deepen their awareness of themselves and how they function in their world (with family, relationships, at work, school, friends) by exploring their experiences. Over a period of time, these explorations lead to new perspectives, increased choices, and new behaviors.
