Along the road, we all developed temporary tools to solve the problems in our lives. Unfortunately, we often forgot to stop using those tools, and they became "permanent."

Let's get started!

I believe we are listened into our voice and that "what most people really need is a good listening to" (Mary Lou Casey).

I believe we all have an innate drive toward growth and healing which can, at times, become overwhelmed by life circumstances - both past and present - and that in the context of a supportive, empowering therapeutic relationship, we can rediscover our strengths and our deepest knowing.
