MY APPROACH
I practice a combination of Existential, Solution Focus, and Person-Centered Therapy. Modalities that assume the control of your life, lies within you. Practicing in that way allows me to listen and hear a person without trying to take responsibility or shape their life. Hear what you’re good at, what worked before, or what's really important to you. Those are the things that tend move people forward.
SOLUTION FOCUS
Solution Focus can be characterized as thinking about being. The ability to assess our own experience for what has worked in the past, and creatively use that information in our lives. There are times when problems are not as intense, or they’re more manageable. What was different? Those times often hold clues in how to move forward.
PERSON-CENTERED
I can’t know what you should do with your life. However, I do know that everyone has a natural motivation to overcome what is in front of them. A drive to move forward in a constructive manner. A drive that can surface and thrive within the therapeutic conditions of acceptance, understanding, and privacy.
EXISTENTIALISM
What something means to you, is up to you to decide. What does a loss in your life mean to you? What does a promotion mean? What do the events in a relationship mean? Therapy is a great place to undertake the questions that are important to you. The world can be confusing and overwhelming. Knowing what’s important to you, can help clarify difficult choices.
