Therapist Overview
Choosing to enter therapy offers the possibilities of growth, change, and an increased active involvement in one’s life. My approach to therapy is to engage with patients beginning with the interests and concerns that prompt them to enter therapy. We can focus on issues that are immediately present, and also seek an understanding of underlying patterns of behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. Essential to a successful therapy is the creation of a positive relationship between patient and therapist. Matters under discussion about the patient’s life will be explored, and as the therapy proceeds, the issues that brought the patient to therapy begin to appear in the therapy itself. Thus, a dual focus emerges: the patient’s life outside of therapy, and the ways that the patient and therapist explore what is developing in the therapy relationship.
