My Approach to Helping

I believe that most wounds occur within a relationship and that healing also occurs most effectively within a relationship. My position of "unconditional positive regard" toward clients doesn't imply that I endorse behaviors that don't work, but that people can only take the risks required to heal when they feel respected, accepted, and supported. I don't believe in blunt confrontation or cold "neutrality" as that's often what creates peoples' wounds in the first place. It is not until we are fully aware of our counter-productive defenses that we are able to choose new ones that are more constructive.

More Info About My Practice

I currently accept Aetna, Blue Shield, and MHN. Since most EAP's (Employee Assistance Programs) contract with MHN, it is likely that I am a provider for your EAP.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy with has been shown in studies to be the most effective model for working with couples' distress.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

I believe that committing to therapy is a fearful experience for most people and this is especially true for couples. Because of this, I strive to create a safe and non-judgemental space for my clients.
