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

My Approach to Helping

Many people who come to see me are struggling with feelings of loss or searching for meaning or a feeling of purpose in their lives. Unfortunately for many, therapy has consisted of being diagnosed and then treated with a specfic type of therapy "proven" to work for that diagnosis. It is no surprise when people still feel depressed or relapse later. I believe it is important help people and not just treat the diagnosis. I take a more holistic approach that I feel is more effective and transformative so you can live the life you've always wanted.

 

More Info About My Practice

I also specialize in helping families experiencing divorce or separation, blended family issues, individuals with chronic or degenerative illness, dissociation, anxiety, mood disorders and personality disorders. I am in post graduate training for Transactional Analysis and Redecision Therapy. These modalities are highly effective in accessing, working through and resolving deep feelings and past decisions that impact the way we currently live our lives. Once these issues are resolved, people can proceed to live the fufilling life they always hoped was possible. Feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation. I currently accept Tricare, Valu Options and Cigna, Medicare and Medicaid. A sliding scale fee is available. I accept credit cards, cash or check for payment.
