MISSION

My
goal is to assist individuals to improve the quality of their lives while respecting
individual self-determination.  I elected
for international education and practice to increase my cultural competence and
range of skills.  I believe there is
value in the ability to engage clients of all ethnicities, ages and stages of
life; I find this to be the foundation of any successful therapeutic
relationship.  I support creative and
compassionate styles of intervention, non-judgmental and solution focused.
