I take a collaborative and open approach to therapy. I see the client as my partner in exploring his or her unique personal world. Rather than impose my own strict theories, which may or may not be relevant, I encourage the client to participate in defining problems and setting goals. Throughout this process, I remain open about my thoughts and observations, and I treat clients with the respect and dignity they deserve.
More Info About My Practice
I utilize a wide range of therapeutic tools and approaches, depending on the presenting concerns and goals of each client. Some clients seek short-term treatment for symptom reduction, while others seek deeper therapy to address the underlying causes of their symptoms. In either case, I try to understand the whole person within which the symptoms are occurring, and I often incorporate self-care, relaxation, and mindfulness training to enhance the process.
