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

My Approach to Helping

I offer insightful and positive, individualized care for all my clients. I seek to understand your personal motives and help you achieve your aspirations through being curious, connected, compassionate and creative.
My goal is to take care of your specific concerns, in an environment that will develop meaningful self discovery and lead to continued self improvement. I am interested in helping you get ahead; improve in life, work, and relationships. I am humanistic in nature, which means I believe everyone is doing the best they can given their circumstances. We all have an instinctual desire to be positive and make healthy choices if we are given the opportunity to let that instinct unfold.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love feeling great about what I do. I get a true sense of joy out of helping others, ending my day with a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that I have done everything I can to help the people that come to me.

 

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

There are many reasons why a therapy experience could be unpleasant or unhelpful. In this case it's likely that there is a mismatch between expectations, a lack of communication about whether or not the therapy is on course, or a theoretical misunderstanding on the part of the therapist. Therapy is a co-creation between two individuals, and it is important to treat it as such with open communication.

 

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

Being human we're not perfect, no one individual is. After all, John Lennon was in analysis... Why? I prefer the view that therapy is a process of growth, a quest for becoming a better human being.
