Personal Statement

Through shared discussion, support and feedback, I help clients identify and develop new awareness, strengths and problem solving skills to better manage the complexity of life's challenges. I collaborate with clients by helping them clarify their thoughts, make sense of their emotional life, explore their interpersonal skills, and/or increase their body awareness. Through our work, they are helped to live a more enriched life in relationships with others and themselves, in leisure, at home and in the work setting.
