 My philosophy about therapy is based on a simple premise:
people heal when they have a person in their life who will listen to their
secrets, their unexpressed thoughts and feelings and their ideas without
judgment, condemnation or ridicule.
Values, ethics and morals come in to play as the client seeks
to sort them out for themselves. I do not make judgments regarding the client's values.
Rather, I strive to provide a safe environment to expedite the healing process.
