My Values as a Therapist

I value compassion, encouragement and empowerment in my healing relationships with clients. My focus in 100% on your issues, concerns and becoming unstuck by behaviors that hinder your quality of life, peace, relationships and success - as you determine success. I am a very nurturing therapist and find that I am particularly helpful to those working toward establishing a more loving, supportive and compassionate relationship with themselves. I am experienced in working with young women & college students working to define their true values and identity. I am also experienced in working with high achieving, accomplishment driven professionals seeking balance and meaning in their life. With all clients, I find it crucial to distinguish ones internal sense of self worth, regardless of achievement, applause or approval. Once we operate from a high sense of self respect and self love, we are then able to live up to our highest potential.
