My Approach

I’ve been called a straight from the hip therapist tell it like it is, let my client know the truth and assist them in moving forward. I work with children; adolescents’ and adults everyday all from different walks of life and financial means all have one thing in common. A desire to have help with a problem and to find the quickest solution possible, in this day and age of instant gratification I believe a well versed therapist with a background in several therapeutic techniques is most desirable for my clients.

I enjoy using Clay therapy (a talk while we play therapy) which I use with young children going through divorce, loss of a parent or pet, anger, depression, social anxiety. I have found Clay therapy to be successful when other methods of play therapy. I believe that when a child begins using their hands and brain together they relax and open up to me easier than if I sit and watch them play in the sand.

For most of my clients I use Choice theory. Choice theory is a model approach which emphasizes the client’s choice to enhance their lives. I view counseling as a process by which I facilitate my client’s choices in exploration, clarification and identification of their needs and help them to choose cognitions and behaviors which will result in attainment of life satisfaction and self-acceptance.
