Treatment Philosophy
- Therapy is a collaborative effort. It is a match between two people: a person who needs help and wants to change, and the therapist's skill and compassion.
- I begin by listening carefully and with respect.
- Therapy will often quickly uncover repetitive patterns of self-defeating behavior of which the new client is unaware.
- Emotional expression, intellectual understanding, and behavior change are all important to successful treatment.
- I have over 25 years of experience in dealing with the problems of individuals (including older children and adolescents), couples, and families.
