I believe in the power of science to heal just as much as I believe in factors more difficult to quantify. Factors that are hard to quantify can include the quality of the therapeutic relationship between clients and practitioners. I believe in evidence based therapy, receiving continued training and consultation, and remaining current on research and literature. I also believe that developing a safe therapeutic relationship is important and relevant to healing and change so that other factors such as hope, safety, humanity, vulnerability, empathy, and authenticity can be present in our work.
