With over 30 years' experience, it's been a privilege to assist over 9,000 diverse clients with a wide variety of challenges and in a variety of settings. My approach is “Integrative”, which involves selecting models and methods from across orientations to best suit a particular client and context as evidence shows that this approach enhances the effectiveness of therapy. I provide a space where clients are heard without judgment and the My goal is to improve mental health so that clients feel and perform better. The client and I identify their strengths which are then combined with research-based practices to build other skills needed to achieve therapy goals. Sometimes identifying the goals themselves may require some assistance. We then build an individualized plan, learn, practice and apply skills learned and make adjustments along the way as needed.
