My Philosophy
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
― Viktor E. Frankl
​
Empathy, unconditional positive regard for people, authenticity, and respect are the prerequisites for creating a meaningful therapeutic relationship of trust according to the great masters.
​
These principles form the foundation of my own philosophy as well.
