My Focus

I take a Functional approach to therapy which means that the focus of treatment is on what is working in your life and what isn't. Those areas that are working are used to build on and strengthen. If you choose to make changes in the areas that are not working, then a treatment plan specific to you and your concerns will be developed. Therapy then becomes a joint effort between you and myself working to improve functioning in areas of your life that you want to see improved.
