Approaches

I use approaches tailored to your particular needs because therapy is not a one size fits all proposal.  You will be coached, encouraged, informed, counseled and assisted in creating solutions that best fit your desires and address your pressing issues. Many therapists spend a great deal of time unearthing the past. I prefer to focus on your current concerns and find the best research-based technique to address them.  The primary approaches I use are described in the next section.
