Therapy Approach:
Life can get very difficult and we often need help. Among the most courageous things we can do is to ask for that help. I try to honor the impulse in people to improve and grow and take a no shame approach. Many people have helped me and I want to be available to help others. I also believe that people have a long history of overlooking their ow success and try to take what has been called a "solution-oriented" apprach. I believe most people who seek therapy have often settled into a destructive pattern of unwarranted self-criticism and I work to help them understand what can be a neglected track record of success.
