Approach

I have an integrative counseling approach, in which I draw from a variety of treatment modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, relational therapy, solutions-focused therapy, and Christian counseling. That being said, you’re the paying client, so from the very beginning, you get to decide your goals for counseling, and I use your own personal goals to guide the course of treatment. And then I will regularly check back in with you to see if we are reaching your goals according to your satisfaction, and if your goals change along the way, that is okay too. Overall, I try to provide a good balance of both client-centered and structured therapy sessions, and I try to be open and flexible as goals and life situations may change along the way. I also believe that you will get as much out of counseling as you are willing to put into it, so the more motivated you are, the deeper questions will go and the more I will provide you with “homework” and additional resources.
