I believe that the therapist's consciousness and own personal spiritual journey are important in this work and provide the atmosphere to support the client's journey. In this regard, I have come to feel that my work deepens with age and the wisdom age brings. Some principles I adhere to: • A belief in the basic goodness of each individual as well as the universe as a whole • That human beings are both psychological and spiritual in nature • That every person is doing the very best they can at every moment or they would do better • Accessing inner wisdom is both possible and necessary for growth

I received both my masters and doctoral degrees, along with related training, at Rosemead School of Psychology, one of the leading schools in the country focused on the integration of Christian faith and understanding of human nature with clinical counseling. Our faith can be an important, even central part of our lives. For many people having a therapeutic relationship where this part of themselves can be explored and where they can be open about their faith and relationship with God is hugely important. I understand this importance and so I provide an open, understanding space for addressing challenges, fears, and fostering personal and spiritual growth in a Christian context.
