An Editor Of The Unspoken
I believe the role of a good therapist is to be a biographer of our patients lives-and see what ways your past life story may be negatively impacting you -while helping you create a new narrative in the present to ensure a happier future. As an author and former literary agent I understand the power of one's personal story.
Sensitive to issues of the unique impact of health on clients functioning
