I prefer clients who are receptive to looking at their situation as a result of earlier decisions and experiences.I am not judgemental or critical. I try to help clients make sense of their situation. I have drawn my professional skills from an array of experiences. I create a picture in my mind of each person based on their history. My process is to try and make sense of each person's situation and form a context for their next step in life. Problems are usually opportunities I have balenced treatment with teaching so that I can see a broader picture rather than rely on assumptions. I am compassionate and believe we have the capacity to grow with encouragement and self acceptance. I like to use poetry and relavent books to aid the process.
