I believes that the role of the therapist is to help the client develop an increased self awareness and the client has the ability for self direction. An integrative approach of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, existential and psycho-dynamic theoretical frameworks is applied during therapy. Clients come to therapy with a complex value system and their value system must be understood and valued for therapy to be effective. Clients have the power to infuse new meaning into their lives and experience fulfillment. The therapeutic relationship gives clients a chance to safely explore new effective coping mechanisms to improve the quality of their lives.
