The relationship we’ll form is an integral part of the therapeutic process. I will provide you with caring, compassionate, and totally confidential space to develop your capacity to not only hope for the best but work to get there.
I respect your courage in seeking help and the trust you’ll be placing in me.
My approach with you will be:
Collaborative: We are a team to identify and maximize your current strengths and resources to overcome the current barriers that have gotten you stuck. Together we’ll work to develop strategies and tools you'll need to help you meet your goals.
Solution-focused: Once we establish your goals, we’ll develop plans to achieve them. I don’t have all the answers but I have a strong track record of helping people build successful coping strategies.
