Personal Statement

I believe in utilizing clients' psychological strengths, basic belief system, and life experience as resources to treatment. My treatment approach is direct, interactive, and collaborative. I believe in guiding the client(s) through the process of psychotherapy, not carrying them.

Personally and professionally, I believe that people have the answers (to their problems) within themselves and I facilitate the therapeutic process through a systematic exploration. I strongly believe in tailoring the treatment approach according to client's individual and unique personality style, belief system, and their experiences in life. I strongly believe that client's motivation and involvement in the therapeutic process holds the key to the success of treatment.

Based upon my experience in the field, I have learned that the most important factor in treatment is the compatibility between client' needs and therapists approach to the treatment process. Therefore, a through understanding of client's expectations, personal/social/cultural beliefs, spiritual needs and sound relationships with client are crucial to the success of treatment.
