Treatment Philosophy: Often times, when people reach out for professional counseling or psychotherapy, they or a loved one are in a state of crisis. While their circumstances may appear insurmountable and that no one can make a guartanee – treatment does work and people are capable of making change. Treatment provides a setting a structure for that change to occur in a person’s life.
I provide evidenced-based therapies and treatment interventions which allow the person I have the opportunity to work with to re-gain their full potential in life. This is the overriding goal of therapy despite symptoms, diagnosis, or external mandates. I do not view my clients as “patients” whom I am supposed to “fix.” Instead I view the therapy relationship as a process where we learn from one another, and together, go through the process of change. In as much, I do not subscribe to a single style or theoretical orientation of therapy. Instead, I will match the person’s needs and current situation to most appropriate style; which may include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Experimental Therapy, Emotive Therapies, 12-step Orientation, and Recovery Support.
