I believe the therapeutic relationship to be one of acceptance, compassion, understanding, and exploration. Therefore, I am relational and collaborative in my approach with clients, in hopes of fostering trust and a willingness to do the "hard work" needed for healing and/or growth. I implement treatment approaches designed to meet the needs of each client including the following: Eclectic, Cognitive/Behavioral, Brief Therapy, EMDR (Part 1), Emotionally Focused Therapy.
