Therapy tends to be a process of change. Therefore, we have to understand how change happens. For me, change only happens as we gain a deeper understanding of what needs to be changed. Therapy then, becomes a process of exploring the events that have shaped us so that we can gain that deeper understanding. Once we have that deeper knowledge of the problem, we are better able to make decisions that will lead to positive change. It is my hope that you find the answers you are looking for and that somehow, I may assist you in the process. I use a wide variety of counseling approaches that focus on the system the client operates in. Together we will look at history, contributing factors, and patterns of behavior, that have led to the problem and then discuss how to change those behaviors. I consider it an honor to be involved in the lives of my clients. I strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and non-threatening as we sit together and discuss their struggles.
