My therapeutic approach is strength-based,
supportive, and collaborative. I believe that providing a safe and nurturing
environment is essential in the development of a positive therapeutic
relationship. It is within this environment that we can focus on the strengths,
insights, and goals of each individual and family as we address the identified
concerns and problems. To me, empowering people in their exploration and
processing of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors through communication and play
promotes them to reach their unique potentials, and can greatly aid in more
effective coping and positive change, so they may overcome
emotional and behavioral challenges, and improve functioning in home, school,
and work settings.
