……………….CLINICAL APPROACH:
……………My theoretical orientation is eclectic, with primary emphases on
cognitive
……………therapy
and family systems therapy approaches.
My clinical focus is on
……………clients'
strengths and positive potentials, rather than their "illnesses," and
……………I
tend to address here-and-now issues more than childhood experiences.
……………In my
conversations with clients, I am always directing my comments to
……………that
part of the person who analyzes situations and makes decisions about
……………how
to cope. I am also very
focused on the ways in which my clients are
……………influenced
by and interact within their important relationships. In many
……………respects,
I relate to my clients as a teacher or coach, and I am always willing
……………to
explain the rationale behind any statements I may make.……………….
……………In working with me, what my clients would probably notice most
would be
……………my
direct, down-to-earth, practical, and supportive clinical style. They would
……………probably
also sense my respect for them as individuals and my genuine
……………commitment
to their well-being. I do understand and
admire the courage it
……………can
take for people to seek the wisdom to overcome life's difficulties and
……………strive
toward their highest positive potential.
……………….LOCATION:
……………My office is located just outside the town of Tryon in the
Warrior Drive area. It
……………is
convenient to all locations in Polk County, North Carolina as well as locations
……………in
upstate South Carolina, such as Landrum and Campobello.
