Focusing on Individual Strengths
As a clinical psychologist, my focus has always been on people as individuals, not their diagnostic labels.
I have focused on accessing and developing people’s strengths and resources.
I believe most people are doing the best they know how, but it’s what they don’t know, or what they know that isn’t so, that causes them distress.
Contrary to most therapy approaches that look for explanations for why someone is the way they are, my work focuses instead on how people can learn to do things more effectively.
