“If I try to explain my approach to therapy I would start with the idea of “gifts differing”. I don’t think of people as “sick” or “well”, “normal” or “crazy”. I see every individual as a matrix of strengths, talents, issues and challenges in the developmental curves of life. I have learned from every life I have encountered in my forty years as a psychotherapist. These individuals come to me when they are “stuck”. My job is to discover their strengths and abilities in any realm of life and help them apply it to that “stuck” point. This is what I call proactive utilization. It utilizes gifts and powers you already have and then teaches you to use your unique approach proactively to the next set of challenges in life. My goal is to make you comfortable and then competent to master this set of problems as well as what is yet to come in a respectful professional environment. Ethical, cost effective treatment in a warm and very personal setting.”
