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

My Approach to Helping

My commitment to clients is to explore areas of the psyche, emotions and spirit in an environment of safety and deeply held respect for individuals and their partner. We will examine how you and your family�s beliefs and values both hinder and help you on your particular path. To the degree that you seek change, I will work with you and your partner to see what in your actions, thoughts and feelings is in the way of greater freedom and loving experience in your life.

Through the interaction between us, in addition to what you/your partner/family bring, we will work toward those changes. Your input into the process of treatment is very important. Achievement of clients� treatment goals is the result of a collaborative effort between you and I. My relationship with clients will continue only so long as it is reasonably clear to my client(s) and my self that they are benefiting from the relationship. If a referral is appropriate, I will assist my client(s) in obtaining other therapeutic services. You have the right and responsibility to choose a therapist who best suits your needs and purposes. You can discontinue treatment or ask for a referral to another therapist at any time.
