I believe that one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interrelated. I work with clients to help them gain awareness and insight into these aspects of their being. I assist clients by helping to uncover their assets and teaching them helpful strategies to practice when determining new ways of behaving. My treatment approach stems from research and utilizes evidence based strategies to address problems. Blending conventional and alternative approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. In addition, I consider external factors such as family and relationship dynamics as well as social, economic and cultural factors. This allows me to view the person and their environment in a dynamic fashion which acknowledges the impact that our surroundings have on us and that we in turn have on our world. I work to empower my clients to make lasting change in their lives.
