Therapy shouldn't have to be complicated.  Therapy is a way to achieve balance. As a therapist I utilize a variety of approaches for each unique client.  I view therapy as a collaborative process, where you and I work together to define your treatment goals and explore the issues you identify that are of concern to you. My approach is down-to-earth and pragmatic. I work to create a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experience, and work towards change. Every individual is unique, so the therapy that works for one person may not work for another. I try to work in a way that is the best fit for each client.

Some of the elements of my treatment approach include:

• Developing a strong therapeutic relationship with clients so that they can feel safe exploring personal issues that may be difficult for them to discuss.
• Assisting clients in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, which can help facilitate more satisfying interpersonal relationships.
• Assisting clients in identifying personal and emotional resources that currently exist in their lives that are supportive and helpful to the changes they are wanting to make.
• Assisting clients in identifying concrete changes that can improve their daily quality of life.
