My Approach to Helping
As a clinical psychologist, I focus on how well, satisfying, and adaptable people function both personally and in their relationships at different stages of their lives. More specifically, depending on the presenting problem, I help those struggling to work through difficult issues from various therapeutic interventions.
I do favor an insight-oriented, psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. This approach explores the roots of emotional suffering allowing for the therapeutic relationship to evolve and encourage self-reflection and examination. At times solution-oriented and crisis intervention will be the most appropriate to address emotional, social, work, school, andor physical health concerns that need immediate relief and constructive, healthy, adaptive solutions.
My eclectic approach includes interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc. From a Christian worldview, the integration of biblical principles into the therapeutic process is highly valued but never imposed on those seeking help through psychotherapy.
