My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between myself and the client. I believe it is important to have a good therapeutic relationship with the individual so that I can help them in their journey. Part of the importance of the relationship is to be able to have the trust in me to disclose what the barriers are to achieving what the person wants and it allows me to at times challenge them. For some people their journey will need to include healing from past events and for some they just hit a rough spot in their journey. I have been doing this work for over 35 years.
