Fundamentally, people need to feel "of use" and this usefulness must be meaningful. I work with my clients to find ways to connect with the world around them and to express their creative productive selves in concert with this foundational premise. The work promotes healthy outlooks on the environment and healthy perspective of oneself. All relationships are addressed, including those with significant others, social environment, work/career/productivity, and oneself. All changes occur through experiencing oneself and the environment in healthy ways.
