Approach to Therapy

Therapy is a professional relationship organized around empathy, respect, openness, and collaboration. I resonate with British psychologist Peter Lomas, who described therapy as creating “an atmosphere in which risks can be taken, fun can be had, closeness is possible, and the relationship feels alive.” To create this environment, I take a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual/religious approach to understanding challenges you face, which leads to a fuller understanding and more meaningful outcomes.
