Some people will ask a potential therapist "What is your approach to therapy or orientation?
My approach to therapy is a practical one, focused on present problems. I help clients understand their behavior patterns and related feelings. The past is examined as an emotional blueprint but not as the major aspect of sessions. I provide feedback, support and present strategies. Clients are encouraged to change their behavior based upon their new understanding and insights. I also explore unconscious feelings and motivations. In other words I integrate cognitive behavior therapy and some psychoanalytic concepts.
Service Options
