Philosophy "My practical view of the function of psychotherapy is as a journey of self-exploration by the client, meant to increase his/her level of self-understanding and self-awareness. I as the therapist act as the guide or facilitator of this journey. It is not my practice to act as the self-appointed expert on the client's life who effortlessly dispenses advice to the client on what he/she should be thinking, feeling, and doing. I do not readily provide answers/solutions to client questions/problems regarding themselves and their lives. From my experience, clients are much more inclined to own and operate an answer/solution if it is of their own creation. On some level of consciousness based on his/her experience in life, I believe the client is in possession of the answers to his/hers questions. It is my desire to make those answers explicit. My goal to help clients identify, develop, and mobilize their own resources to successfully solve problems and meet challenges."
