What is your typical process for working with clients?

I offer a therapeutic relationship that is comfortable, warm, and open to discussing all issues. Through support, understanding and active listening we explore life issues together, so clients may have a better ability to enjoy life and feel understood. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.
