My Approach to Helping

Psychotherapy that empower you work from these basic principles: Appreciation is for you, what the sun is for the plants. You have strengths, resources, skills, special talents and gifts. You will develop your potential when you are appreciated. What you focus on becomes your reality Choose to focus on strengths and abilities. When you over-focus on problems you tend to create more problems. You will feel secure when changes in your life are related to something you already know (past success stories). Choose to bring into your awareness the best of what you already have. I use a respectful, non-blaming approach. I assume that the problem is the problem. You are not the problem. I assume that you have expertise on your own life. I assume that you are capable of finding solutions to your problems. I assume that, by the time you ask me for help, you will already have made many attempts to reduce the influences of the problem(s) in your life and relationships. You know what does not work for you. But you also know what works for you. I will encourage you to focus on what works.
