My Approach to Helping
Establishing a positive rapport is the essential first step in developing a successful therapeutic relationship. During an initial session, we discuss your goals and aspirations for maximizing life satisfaction. Understanding current challenges allows for the forumulation of an individualized treatment strategy. My academic and continuing training emphasizes a strengths based, bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach that takes into consideration the whole person: mind, body, interpersonal and meaning making facets that contribute to an overall sense of well being. I am able to use solution focused and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients manage immediate symptoms and concerns.
