How I work with students
I view the therapy process as a collaborative work between the therapist and the client. My approach to therapy is to meet each person where they are at, explore together where they would like to be, decide what they need to reach there and then work toward those goals. I engage in therapy by being open-minded and non-judgmental with respect to each persons’ values, and working to enhance the overall functionality in my clients’ lives.
