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

My Approach to Helping

I take a holistic approach, examining the here-and-now reality of the person's experiential, physical, interpersonal, and intrapsychic worlds. I believe in having the knowledge and networking developed to as best I can see that medical problems are addressed by skillful colleagues and that I can then help clients address psychological issues, including nutritional, exercise-related, and sleep-related problems, as well as other problems due to over/underarousal of components of the central nervous system. I strive to help people learn about themselves, especially how patterns of feeling, anxiety, and defenses affect the quality of their lives and can be addressed by mindful choices.

 

More Info About My Practice

Fee is $200/hour, paid in cash at end of each session. I provide receipts for insurance filing by clients if requested. I ask clients to allow me to videotape sessions as this is vital to my growth as a therapist, to providing the best possible care, and to sometimes provide very important feedback to clients -- veridical, "that's me doing that" information.
