Treatment Philosophy

I believe in a collaborative, client-centered and trauma focused approach to therapy, in which we will identify and build upon your strengths to help promote healthy decision making, resilience, and healing. I approach each person as unique and believe that their thoughts, be them rational or irrational, have a large influence on their emotions and behaviors. Together, I will help you identify your goals, provide support and guidance through any challenges you are facing and assist with identifying any barriers to growth. My goal is to help you achieve a sense of well-being and build upon your strengths so as to be empowered to lead a more satisfying life. I believe that the family environment has a large impact on children and adolescents and that family involvement is crucial to the therapeutic process.
