My approach to therapy is individualized and conversational, aimed at developing a respectful atmosphere in which troubling feelings, thoughts, and actions can be shared, reconsidered, and understood from a new perspective, hopefully with a sense of expanded choice, options, and decisions. Whether and how to change oneself can be explored from a pragmatic, step-by-step framework to a more abstract and emotional level. Usually both emotion and action come into play in any attempt to improve the quality of one's life and depend in part upon a personal connection between my client and myself that encourages effort and hopefulness.
