Treatment Approach
I am committed to providing you with the best possible care in order to resolve your concerns. However, if appropriate, I will not hesitate to either refer you to someone outside my practice to better accommodate your needs or to consult with them as a part of your on-going therapy.
Personal Philosophy
My approach is based on the belief that life provides us with a series of opportunities for growth. Therapy should be a collaborative venture which means working together towards accomplishing goals that are in line with a client’s values. I encourage self-exploration and self-awareness from a strengths perspective which involves finding sources of success and empowerment to fuel change in current areas of frustration.
