Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I believe that as humans we all possess an innate wisdom that is veiled by myths and beliefs that block our vision of that wisdom. As a therapist I try to provide a safe space for the client to explore his/her concerns and vulnerabilities. From a trusting and open relationship I facilitate a collaborative environment to help him/her identify how pain and suffering is generated and discover the self-power to make changes in his/her life.

 

 

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I very much enjoy the privilege of participating in someone's life in such an intimate way and derive great satisfaction from facilitating and witnessing his/her growth and transformation. There is no better way for me to make a living than working from a place of creative compassion.

 

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

I move steadily but gently with them through their pain, watching for signals as to when they're receptive to intervention, identifying intermediate steps and allowing space for them to experience the result of each move before proceeding to the next one.
