My role as therapist is to assist you in the transitions that currently have you challenged with you as the expert in your life. My therapeutic philosophy is a combination of believing that the past can help you to understand where you have come from, which allows you to be able to define where you are today, which further aids in the creating of goals needed to help you reach your full potential. I will treat you with compassion, understanding and respect, knowing that asking for help is not an easy thing to do.
Individuals therapy is unique in the sense that discussing situations one-on-one allows for optimum time for self-discovery and attention for you, the client.
Couples therapy is unique in the sense of my being able to see first-hand the interactional patterns of the couple and instant validation of each partner's statements. This allows for concrete examples to be shown on the spot of what the specific challenge may be in a relationship.
Family therapy is unique in the sense that truly each session will be challenging and rewarding, all at the same time due to the number of people involved. The dynamics of having many family members together to resolve an issue is an extremely productive use of time.
As with any other procedure, therapy involves some risks. Whenever you make significant changes in your lifestyle, outlook or habits, your life and the lives of those with whom you are closely involved may be affected. While the purpose of counseling is to make changes, you will want to consider the consequences that might arise. We can discuss more about the process and the benefits when I see you at our first session.
My goal in providing services to you is to allow you to grow and learn about yourself while also helping you to tackle the issues that hold you back from being your best. The decision is always yours to make, whether it is beginning therapy or ending therapy. I hope that I can assist you with compassion and understanding in reaching your goals through my solution-focused and positive-oriented approach to therapy.
