Many individuals have often sought my services when things are falling apart or their lives have just "stopped working." For some, these situations have manifested in failed relationships. For others, engagement in maladaptive coping behaviors that include excessive drinking, drug use, compulsive sex, or financial mismanagement have precipitated their need to ask for help from a trained and caring professional. For many others, conflicts at work, dissatisfaction with their careers, and exploration of additional professional and personal goals became the driving factor behind coming to work with me in therapy.
An individually tailored method is required to address my client's needs. For some clients, this means that traditional introspective approaches of psychodynamic and depth-focused therapies are indicated. For others, cognitive-behavioral approaches help the most. And then for others, humanistic strength-based approaches are the most appropriate.
My approach also draws from my 20 years of experience successfully managing the demands of high-pressure Silicon Valley business environments. However, regardless of the technique, working with a well-trained professional with whom you feel safe, supported, and comfortable is the most important factor for successful treatment.
