My approach is holistic with attention to the mental /emotional self, the physical self, and the spiritual self. I am accepting, validating and encouraging. I engage with a solution focused, positively oriented work style. I also find looking at meaning and purpose supports resolution of some concerns.
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
The most important component is the relationship between the client and myself. Research has found that when the relationship is strong positive outcomes result. I provide genuine support and respect with a thorough understanding of concerns. I have been successful in finding paths for improvement.
