Wellness . Courage . Strength

My Approach
My approach to psychotherapy is of a client centered nature, where YOU and YOUR WELLBEING are what matter to me. In choosing to work with me, you can expect a courteous, professional, confidential and warm therapy environment because my therapeutic relationship with you begins when you walk through the door.
My approach to beginning psycotherapy with you is assessment. This is a process that can take several sessions to complete. It begins with a clinical interview, which is where I begin to learn about you; what is happening in your life currently; and, what has happened to you in the past. My assessment process also utilizes measurment of symptoms as part of this process. It both provides a baseline picture of what you struggle with and also helps inform clinical decision making.
My approach to psychotherapy and assessment is also to be transparent, both with you and your treatment team. If you have questions about your assessment, I encourage you to ask. If you want your family physician to be included, please let me know.
" I am not what happened to me,
I am what I choose to become"
