My philosophy and approach at helping others is based on the belief that we all can benefit from other's wisdom, empathy, life experiences, skills and education. As a therapist, my education and work experience has helped me to understand human development, family, culture, beliefs, and experiences and how these shape who we become or act in day to day interaction with others. My personal experiences help me to understand that we are all human beings and that we all struggle, fail, have obstacles to overcome, and make decisions which we may regret. I also understand that we have strengths, experiences, and skills that can help us be resilient. It is my mission to help you understand how your past has shaped your present, and how your present can be shaped to benefit your future, in yourself, your profession, and your relationships.
