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

My Approach to Helping

Life can be difficult. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by our emotions. Sadness, depression, anxiety or anger can interfere with our enjoyment of life and keep us stuck. Our inability to tolerate these feelings can lead to addictive patterns or behaviours which threaten to take over our life. Emotional eating, alcohol, drugs, computer games, shopping and chronic surfing can all be attempts to numb out in order not to feel. Sometimes we establish a pattern of unhealthy relationships and can't understand how we have ended up there, once again.

Psychotherapy can empower you to realize that change is possible and help you to make the first step in a new direction.

My style is supportive, compassionate, warm and honest. I will provide you with helpful feedback about how you get in your own way and I will work with you to find a new path that fits for you.
