My Approach to Helping

Psychotherapy can be a very powerful experience that relieves individual suffering and creates healthier families and communities. A good therapist helps people mobilize internal strengths so they can overcome their difficulties as rapidly as possible. I take a very active, focused, and respectful stance to build strong working relationships with clients so they can accomplish their goals. I work with people with various difficulties, including stress reactions, anger and grief issues, anxiety, depression, somatic complaints (e.g., GI, IBS, pain symptoms), and relationship problems. I also work with professionals exposed to high levels of occupational stress, such as EMT, police, military, and child protection personnel. Feel free to contact me to discuss working together.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

Most people struggle with ambivalence before reaching out to try psychotherapy, which is one reason why estimates show fewer than 1 in 4 people referred for therapy actually follow through to get help. This leaves many people to suffer alone with their emotional difficulties despite lots of evidence that working with a good psychotherapist can be very helpful. Choosing to reach out for help is a healthy step and a good therapist will help clients build upon this momentum in order to deal with their difficulties in a rapid and effective manner.
