“I enjoy the vitality that comes from a diverse practice encompassing adults of all genders, nationalities, and belief systems, many of whom are in the creative fields. A safe space and atmosphere of trust are fundamental to facilitate an emerging dialogue. The more present each can be within the therapeutic relationship, the more potent the healing dialogue becomes.”
