My Approach
Effective psychotherapy is a collaboration between therapist and patient working together to understand problems and develop a plan to resolve them.
As the therapist, it is my job to create an accepting, non-judgmental environment so that trust can be established early on in the treatment process. Therapy is tailored to meet the client’s individual needs. A treatment plan is developed that addresses specific issues and goals.
For effective treatment to occur, a therapeutic alliance must be established. The therapist and patient join together to work on the presenting problem(s). There is a commitment by both to do the work necessary to have a successful treatment outcome.
As a psychotherapist, I provide individual counseling, marriage counseling, and family counseling. Psychotherapy can assist you in becoming empowered; to deal with your issues in a positive way that can enhance your self-esteem. Marriage counseling can help you develop the skills to create an intimate, supportive, loving relationship.
