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

My Approach to Helping

My philosophy is to help people learn tools to learn to be their own best therapists through empathy positive support in a Cognitive Behavior Therapy structure I help people to see the best in themselves and the 'good reasons' they adopted strategies and ways of dealing with life issues to gain love, feelings of safety and hope and how they can learn more effective ways to change how they feel, act and think. My approach is to help those who are suffering or want to enhance the quality of life by helping them to discover choices that will lead to better results. My approach is to help provide a warm and supportive atmsphere in which the person or persons I am helping and I work together. I help others to look at their experiences in new ways through discussion and helping them choose tools and ways to measure their progress.

 

More Info About My Practice

I take a few insurance plans but most of my clients pay cash. I offer a free phone consultation and for now also a free in person first session with no obligation. Chemistry between you and I still remains the essential element of successful treatment, as well as a strong grounding in experience to help teach highly effective tools chosen by us both.
