Approach Description: I believe in providing goal-directed assistance. This means that a therapy treatment goal or several performance goals are established after an initial assessment. Sessions are then planned with the goal(s) in mind and every attempt is made toward progress in a time-efficient manner. I practice both clinical psychology and performance consulting from what is called a “pragmatic” approach. This means that I generally utilize a variety of treatment techniques that are tailored toward the specific client and treatment goals. Each client will be approached utilizing effective treatment strategies in a caring and supportive environment. I also think of my approach to helping people as an educational one. Therefore I may recommend to you, or provide you with, information to read, resources to utilize, and/or homework to complete that is designed to enhance your experience. If you ever have any questions about my approach or the work that I do, please do not hesitate to ask.
