My approach to therapy - Although being a skilled and seasoned clinician is important, the research indicates that the therapeutic alliance is the main factor which determines a successful outcome in therapy.  I believe that finding the right therapist is essential to having a good experience and meeting therapeutic goals. Therapy is a personal and financial investment that requires a time commitment and of course a lot of vulnerability. To have a rewarding experience you must feel comfortable with your therapist and the environment they practice in. Believe me when I say, "I have walked into a therapy office and before I could even make it to the front desk, I turned around and walked out." I believe its the clients right to find what works for them, if you find that I'm not the right fit, I can refer you to someone that may be better suited, no questions asked.  So, let's figure out if I'm a good fit for you.
