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

My Approach to Helping

Taking that first step in finding help isn't easy, but it shows a strength in you that you might not even realize you have. You are probably here because you are in a stressful situation. Finding someone to give you the support, the care, and the time that you need is, of course, important to you. Giving these things to those that I work with is also important to me. I will work with you to change things for the better. If i can help you to reduce your stress and anxiety and decrease your depression, I will count it as a privilege to be part of that. My office is just a few blocks from the beach in Avon-by-the-Sea. There you will find a peaceful, calm, and nurturing space where you can get the help that you need and deserve.

 

More Info About My Practice

I have found several techniques to be especially effective in my therapy:
* Percussive Suggestion Technique (PSTEC)
* Meridian Tapping Techniques (MTT/EFT)
Both PSTEC and MTT/EFT are very simple techniques; particularly effective in decreasing or eliminating anxieties, phobias, panic
attacks and reducing anger. We will work together to find the approach that works best for you.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

A particular specialization that i have is in working with parents who are worried that their child is showing signs of anxiety. I work especially well with those who experience anxiety, fears and phobias, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors (OCD), and depression. I also work well with families experiencing the effects of addiction or other dysfunctional behaviors and those grieving for a loved one. I have worked with many people who have experienced these issues and have experienced all of them myself. Because of my interest in these areas, I have sought out extensive training so that I can be of real help to people. I have a deep understanding of and a great heart for those who are going through these situations.
