Practice Description
Treatment services offered for adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Areas of emphasis: Marriage/family/divorce/parenting/stepparenting, stress, anxiety, alcohol/drug/addiction, gender issues, mood disorders/depression/suicide, adolescent, and women's issues. Approach to therapy: My approach to therapy is to start where the clients are. I work with client goals to offer a safe, respectful and supportive environment so that you can explore your thoughts and perceptions about your life. Therapy is a process in which personal growth occurs. Therapy can help identify and understand what is getting in the way of making changes in your life. A good therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of therapy. Each of us have responsibilities in establishing a good working relationship. Effective treatment and accurate assessment depends to a significant degree on open communication, commitment to change, and collaboration. Each course of treatment can include various approaches or techniques: In solution-focused therapy, I give information and teach specific techniques to deal with problems. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, we work at understanding why you behave, feel, and think the way you do. We explore how your problems arise in learning about the context and sequence. In family of origin therapy, I help you to think about your life history and past relationships as a way of understanding yourself today. Family systems work builds on family of origin and can explore relationship problems. This can include family and/or individual homework and exercises. Clients are encouraged to ask questions regarding the nature and course of treatments. I will ask you what you find helpful during treatment.
