I have been a practicing therapist for over 35 years, and continue to feel engaged and passionate about my work. I make use of a wide variety of theories and professional strategies to assist my clients in reaching their goals. As well, I draw on the experience I have gained and the things that I have learned from those I have had the privilege of helping in the past, and from my own life experiences. I believe that the power of therapy to assist people to find their own wisdom and to find healing for themselves is very strongly influenced by the relationship between the therapist and the client. As a therapist, I can be nurturing and supportive, and I can also be direct and provocative, depending on what my client needs most. Regardless of which style works best for each person, I am always respectful and non-judgmental and willing to work as hard as you do to move through whatever you are struggling with.
