I believe that it is important that you develop self-awareness. It is the first, and the most important step in developing self-acceptance. If therapy is to succeed, it is important that we take an honest look at ourselves. How long it takes to achieve one's goals, depends upon the person and the nature of the issues involved. Together, we will work toward your achieving your goals, and to no longer need counseling. I will support you along the way, and will always respect you and accept you unconditionally.

It is in your best interest that our relationship be professional and not personal. Our sessions should focus on your issues and not mine. From time to time I might share information about my personal life, if it will be helpful to you.

I do not adhere to any one particular psychological theory. The approach I use depends upon the client and the nature of the difficulties the client is experiencing. I encourage clients to join me in exploring their experiences and feelings. What we discuss will be mostly your agenda, not mine.

Although I counsel from a spiritual perspective, I will not challenge or attempt to influence you to change your views or beliefs.
