Personal StatementI believe therapy is a very personal experience in which the process must be unique for every individual. In working with me it will feel like talking with a close friend who happens to have a lot of knowledge and experience about mental health and behavioral change. My style is conversational rather than overly clinical or procedural. I rely on warmth, humor, focusing on your strengths, and helping you to make small changes that move you toward your goals. You and I will work together to determine what your needs are, which applies to your overall goals as well as your session-by-session needs. Our time together is YOUR time. The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of your treatment, so it is important you find a good therapist match for YOU!
