I believe that therapy can have a profound impact on a person's life and I strive to help each individual establish a feeling of clarity and confidence. I utilize a relational framework when working with children, couples, and families. This means that I focus, first and foremost, on a sense of safety, trust, and enjoyment in the therapeutic process. It takes courage to uncover the underbelly of one's inner world and I believe this uncovering cannot occur without trust in one's self, the process, and me.
However, it is important to note, that I (along with most therapists), utilize aspects of many frameworks in addressing the needs of each individual. For example, some clients prefer to utilize cognitive behavioral techniques that include homework that I provide as a more structured manner of making changes. And still other clients will feel more comfortable practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation and visualizations. Overall, I approach my clients with openness and curiosity in the effort to facilitate healing and growth.
