| About Therapy |
Therapy is about creating a safe and growth-producing
environment for you to accomplish your goals. I specialize in working with
adults on transition and relationship issues and with families on understanding
and maximizing the benefit of interpersonal differences. I also work with
therapists and others on achieving professional and personal goals as well as
on the development of mission statements for individuals and teams.
In therapy you can expect intensive listening, reflection of feelings and help
in identifying themes, support in developing new strategies, and the use of
tools (including assessments and homework) to quickly support your growth
toward your goals.
Therapy also can include confrontation about dysfunctional thought patterns or unwillingness to deal with one’s reality but such confrontation always takes place in a strengths-based manner. It is my believe that one grows and learns best based on a foundation of strengths and honest affirmation.
