My goal is to provide you value for your time and money. I start to address your concerns right away. In the words of my Brief Therapy professor, Dr. Jim Bentley, PhD., “I go for the cure in the first session. Sometimes it works!” Of course he was being playful, using words like ‘cure’ but I take his meaning seriously: people come to therapy to get help changing and we can work in ways to help that change happen quickly.

My approach is a form of brief therapy. You get value for your therapy dollars by having your concerns addressed quickly and in a few sessions. You will hear me start by saying “What do you want to address today?” We address what needs to be addressed and we address it in the here and now. We develop and shared agreement on the goal. The sessions include some education, some experiencing, and probably some laughter.
