I believe strongly that therapy must be tailored to the particular needs and strengths of each individual. I think it's most important to thoroughly understand other's situations from their perspective before forming ideas and interventions of my own. Most people have the ability to either create or decide upon solutions; my job is to help clients gain the clarity to do so.
At the same time, I often offer specific recommendations with client's goals in mind. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative conversation between clients and me. Foremost in my philosophy is that people are fundamentally good and have the natural ability to grow toward their fullest potential.

This doctor already decided not to help me without even meeting me to fully understand what my needs were? He made a generalized evaluation over the phone and accused me of arguing with him when I was trying to explain my situation and needs for a treatment plan. Please do not waste your time and seek counsel elsewhere. The strangest phone I have ever had with a psychologist. My psyche is more damaged from my short encounter with him.
