To Begin we will identify just what it is you would most like to get out of therapy. I will listen to your concerns so we can develop some goals you would like to work towards. The approach I will use with you is tailored to your specific needs.

    For Specific Issues you would like help with,  I will work quickly and effectively to develop tools and strategies to improve your ability to cope with the problems you encounter in your daily life. I tend to use a cognitive-behavioral approach – I will focus on your thoughts and behaviors to help you achieve the level of satisfaction, happiness, or mastery that you are seeking in your life.

    For Long-Standing Issues  we may explore more deeply . We might talk about specific events and help you resolve feelings about these issues, or we might talk about your experiences throughout your life, within your family of origin and with other important people. I will work with you on any changes in long-standing patterns you want to make, and help you through that process.

    My Approach is straightforward: we will concentrate on talking and listening. Together we will explore what is most helpful to you. You can be in control of the shape of your therapy with a flexible degree of guidance and feedback from me. Trusting a therapist you can feel safe and comfortable with is important for successful therapy.
