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

My Approach to Helping

My philosophy is to focus on your personal strengths thereby enhancing greater stability, purpose, and joy in living. I work collaboratively and compassionately in helping you change self-defeating thinking and behavior patterns. Treatment is initiated through a preliminary assessment, where information concerning current stressors, psychological history and presenting symptoms is gathered to formulate a starting point for treatment. Client and therapist will work together to define specific goals and clients will be provided necessary referrals to support success in treatment. Throughout the course of therapy, you will be provided with personal challenge, guidance, education and a supportive environment to work together with your therapist toward reaching your identified goals.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents. My approach is best described as Integrative. While there are hundreds of psychotherapeutic approaches, it�s my experience that many of these different perspectives offer techniques that are complementary. So I incorporate various interventions to tailor therapy to your specific needs. I select primarily from these orientations: Cognitive/Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic/Existential.
