Therapeutic Approach

I hold great respect and reverence for the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.  People posses an incredible capacity for change, growth, and healing.  Embracing this potential and moving toward healing is fortified through establishing trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Clients can expect to be treated with compassion and respect.  I work hard to establish and maintain a trusting environment where clients can safely heal from the heaviness of life’s circumstances.  I believe therapy is most effective when it is tailored to each individual client's needs'. What works for one client may not work for you. Therefore, I work hard in collaborating with each client to provide compassionately customized therapeutic treatment.

As your therapist, I will honor and respect your experiences by meeting you exactly where you are in life. (Figuratively speaking. We will literally meet in my office.) The direction that you want to go is entirely up to you. You set the pace. I will provide you with compassionate counseling that will enable you to rest, heal, and strengthen from the past so you may pursue your future with freedom. Your journey belongs to you.

From a client-centered foundation I integrate a variety of research based theories and modalities into therapy. I utilize cognitive behavioral, psycho-dynamic, interpersonal, expressive, existential, narrative, solution-focused, and strength based approaches.
