My Approach to Helping
I work collaboratively to help you become aware of your strengths and start finding solutions that will enhance your life and relationships. I believe within each of us lies the solution to any life challenge, and it is my role to help you uncover your innate wisdom and inner strength to heal. My style of therapy can be described as compassionate, collaborative, holistic, and interactive. We will work together to develop your goals for therapy, and my approach will be tailored to your specific situation and your personality. Perhaps most importantly, I provide a safe and empathic environment to explore your thoughts and feelings.
My approach to therapy is to integrate specific techniques from different modalities, based on the needs and desires of the individual. Some of the therapeutic modalities I incorporate into the treatment process include: client-centered therapy, rational-emotive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and transpersonal therapy.
