Good therapy is centered first and foremost on honoring the innate healing potential within. It's about developing a solid relationship with your counselor and trusting the process that arises within that space. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore issues from your past more deeply, to heal current patterns that are feeling overwhelming and to help you step more fully into your life.

Empathy, presence and skillful intuition are important tools for any good therapist. One also needs to stay informed and in touch with the current research and leading-edge work in the field. In my private practice, I work to blend “trust in the process” with clinical theory and scientific evidence.
