My approach to counseling is to gently encourage, witness, and applaud the process of people healing. That being said, my primary therapeutic approach is Client-Centered Therapy (CCT). The foundational belief of CCT is that people tend to move toward growth and healing, and have the capacity to find their own answers. This capacity is helped along by an accepting, respectful, and understanding climate. I also integrate several other therapeutic modalities, including Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Transactional Analysis and Developmental.
Each course of treatment is unique to those who participate in it and thus your therapy will be a blend of what you and I do together. I am responsible for developing a course of treatment that I understand to be most effective for you and you are responsible for implementing the treatment inside and outside of the therapy sessions. Ultimately, you are in charge of the choices you make and at any point you may refuse the treatment plan that I suggest for you.
