Philosophy
Every therapist is different, and there are many types of therapy and approaches to therapy that work. One thing we've learned from research is that the quality of the relationship between client and therapist is an important factor in the success of therapy. Before you commit your time, money, and emotional energy to this process, I think it's only fair that you have the chance to get to know a little bit about me.
My approach
For me, this process is about you - understanding who you are, what you are looking to get out of the process, and what sort of tools and teaching methods work for you. Years of research to try and determine the 'best' type of therapy have brought us to two main conclusions: pretty much all therapy models work, and the quality of the therapist-client relationship is a significant factor in therapeutic success - much more than the particular therapeutic approach used.

I Believe...
Through my clinical training, years of working with a variety of clients, and my own life experience, I’ve developed numerous beliefs about people, our culture, and the process of therapy. One of those beliefs is that you, as a potential client, are entitled to know what my beliefs and biases are – so I’m sharing them here.
