MY APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY

	I support change toward emotional and psychological wellbeing in a safe therapeutic atmosphere.
	I attend to the uniqueness of your experiences and to the cultural context out of which this uniqueness emerges.
	I encourage change by using an experiential treatment approach that encompasses imago relationship therapy, emotion focused therapy, gestalt therapy, redecision therapy, and transactional analyses.
