Theoretical Orientation

I use multiple kinds of therapy, based on what what is most likely to help. Often, distorted thinking can be identified and corrected. Sometimes, problems have their roots in past events, especially negative childhood experiences. The counseling you receive will be customized to what you want to accomplish and what you are able to do.

Among the theories I draw from are the following:

• Attachment
• Humanistic/Existential
• Cognitive-Behavioral
• Schema Therapy
