My Philosophy

My greatest satisfaction is helping individuals, couples and children work through their difficulties and see positive results. I believe that everyone has the ability to facilitate a permanent change in their lives with the tools and techniques I provide to them. It is extremely rewarding to me to see my clients utilize these techniques and report back to me on their successes and well as their struggles as they incorporate new ways of thinking into their lives. These new lifestyle changes profoundly impact their own lives as well as their families, friends, and co-workers who observe these changes.
