Clinical Psychotherapist & Spiritual Guide

  1. I believe that people, strong and resilient though they may be, sometimes require guidance
  2. I believe that we, as social beings, require social relationships for our well being. These relationships however, are a double-edged sword; they are often the source of much of our heartache and struggle.
  3. I believe that pain and tribulation is inevitable and necessary for growth.
    However, I also believe that we have an innate and an enormous capacity to heal and emerge even stronger from such experiences.
  4. I believe that a low level of self-esteem is often at the heart of our emotional struggle.
  5. I believe that change is inevitable. It is a process and not
  6. usually a quick fix. It requires time, effort, courage, awareness and openness.
  7. I believe that unless we are in harmony with ourselves, we cannot be in
    harmony with others.
  8. I believe that people must be treated as a whole-and therefore, it is
    critical to address issues of mind, body, spirit and environment.
  9. I believe that a deeper understanding of oneself, a higher level of
    awareness, and new ways to live more meaningful, happier lives are
    possible through therapy.
  10. I believe that a “victim mentality” is unhealthy, regardless of whether one
    is a victim of trauma or unfortunate circumstances. This mentality leads to
    blaming others, which does not help us to emotional well-being.
  11. I believe that above all we all need to be heard, understood, accepted, and validated.
    Therapy can help us achieve this.
