My Approach to Helping
I create an alliance with my clients which fosters a sense of safety and freedom from judgement. This relationship allows for increased self awareness and the deactivation of charged issues. As individuals develop more insight their choices expand and they can become liberated from past issues, reactivity and shame. Regarding couples, I feel that it is more important to get at the underlying emotions which are not expressed when couples' are trapped in negative cycles than to teach "communication skills." I encourage the expression of needs rather that mediating who is "right" or "wrong."
