The process of psychotherapy is deeply creative as it requires unique, individual approach to each client.  It seems quite fitting that the word psychotherapy means tending to or healing of the soul.

My approach is based on the belief that people are born whole and that they have everything that they need inside of them as potential waiting to be unfolded.

Psychological problems occur as a result of our interactions with the real world, a world that often teaches us to deny, ignore or devalue our inner experience.  As a result we separate from our true selves (our potential) and our aliveness. Fortunately, even as this separation occurs, most of us still have some sense of that potential, something yet undeveloped much deeper within us.

It is this sense of possibilities that can be the driving force to ask fundamental questions such as, "What does it mean to be human?", "What does it mean to be alive?" and of course, "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?".

And it is these questions that lead us to look for help and seek personal growth programs.  I see myself as a guide in each client’s journey of self-exploration, I see myself as a facilitator or "witness" to the unfolding of their unique potential.
