My Approach: I feel every individual is a unique and a complex being, therefore, the approach I take with your concerns is based on the information you provide and my assessment of your emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic, and career characteristics. I believe that everyone is an expert in their own lives and it takes collaboration to identify what objectives need to be developed in establishing treatment goals.
I believe a trusting working relationship between therapist and client is important and I strive to achieve that collaboration. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles and feel being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are characteristics essential in working with clients. Overall, therapy is a process in which you the individual gain knowledge by raising awareness of unconscious behavior while gaining tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended.
Confidentiality:
Information you share with me will be regarded with respect and handled in a professional manner. In most situations I will request a release of information form to be signed before communicating with others.
