My Approach to Helping
It is with my whole heart and my professional expertise that I believe that we are all capable of healing the wounds that haunt us. It is with great confidence that I tell you that everyone is capable of change and bettering themselves no matter what their odds. The real gift is when you can finally reach out for help. My style as a Psychologist is one of compassion, commitment and knowledge. I am eclectic but often utilize a cognitive behavioral approach. With children I utilize both play therapy and art therapy. I use practical techniques based on sound research and look to the clients progress to assess my own work. My greatest strength is my ability to motivate change. I am warm, funny, compassionate and very comfortable to feel safe with. Children and teens especially seem to attach easily and couples often feel as if no "side" has been taken. I am able to connect with many different types of clients and help cause measurable change.
