What's My Approach to Therapy?
Life can sometimes feel unpredictable. Plans you've made have fallen through, people you've relied on seem to be too busy to help, and everyday tasks keep piling up. My approach to therapy is focused on helping clients create realistic goals that support the lifestyle they desire. Therapy is more than talking; it's an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgment-free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for change. I take a collaborative approach, helping you clarify goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and develop meaningful steps toward lasting growth. My focus is to guide you through periods of transition, strengthen your coping skills, and address behaviors that may be holding you back.
I have been working from a client-centered, integrative approach for over 20 years. I work to create a nonjudgmental and collaborative relationship with my clients that promotes a healthy lifestyle. My approach draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and family systems therapy.
Together, we can help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and develop the skills you need to improve overall health and wellness.
