My Expert Service
|
|
I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist . I believe in a collaborative process between my clients and myself. I draw from a cognitive, physical and emotional understanding of the therapeutic process. I believe clients are a leader in developing their therapeutic goals. I believe the therapist’s role is to assist and serve as a support to help them identify their goals and possible solutions for the desired outcome. I use some techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Psychology, Psychotherapy (past experiences that affect the present), experiential techniques (art, sand play and play therapies), and education. I strive to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.
My goal, as a solution-focused therapist, is to foster a relationship that uncovers your potential to celebrate your life. We're all faced with challanging situations from our past, many that we can't change, but we can work together to better understant ourselves and resolve current hurdles in your life. By utilizing therapies that compliment each other and various approaches tecnuqes, we will discover perpetuating behaviors and distorsiouns that might be preventing you from enjoying your life and finding meaning.
If you are looking for a supportive relationship, counsel through a difficult life sitation, or are ready take like in a new direction in life, I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your goals.
