According to the Person-centered Approach, regardless of the presenting issue, the solution is to provide unconditional positive regard (nonjudgmental acceptance) communicated through empathic understanding to help a client shift from incongruence to congruence - moving away from feeling all over the place, broken, with rigid thought/emotional patterns, toward feeling all in one piece, whole, with flexible thought/emotional patterns. These therapist provided conditions promote the client's actualizing tendency, leading the client to discover his/her/their own solutions toward self-improvement and wellness.

I have been practicing for over 35 years and still love the process of engaging with clients who desire to grow, improve their lives, and/or solve their problems through therapy. Assisting people during times of crisis, transition, personal struggle, trauma resolution, and family problems is what I do best as a psychologist. In addition I have worked hard to build a Practice involving many other therapists who have the same mission. My husband, Dave Zachau, who is also a therapist, and I have devoted our lives to helping others and building our community based Practice.
