Philosophy

I am someone who really appreciates the uniqueness of each person. When I work with someone, no matter whether it is an adult, a rebellious adolescent or a child with autism, my main focus is to find out who that person is--strengths, challenges, gifts, wounds, values, beliefs and personality. At the same time that we work together to overcome whatever difficulties have brought that person to my office, we also work to preserve and strengthen those aspects of self that the individual values and to empower that person to honor him or herself in the way he or she lives daily life and makes life choices.
