Personal Statement

I love my work and feel very priveleged to be invited to be present with people during their most significant transitions. I work with people to discover what they are doing right and expand upon those things, rather than focusing on what they have done wrong. Pain is a taskmaster, but the person who pays attention to their pain and learns from it is a person who is better for the experience. I believe that a person who elects to go through the process of therapy is a person of courage who is commited to change.
