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

My Approach to Helping

A comprehensive, quality counseling practice offering respectful & confidential problem solving for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have over fifteen years of experience treating children, adolescents and adults with serious and persistent mental illness as well as specialized experience treating various psychological issues. I utilize a non-judgmental and empowering approach that focuses on helping individuals access their internal strengths to cope with life's difficulties. I offer unconditional support for improved well-being while actively challenging distortions or behaviors that may hinder progress. Therapy with me may range from short-term problem solving techniques to a long-term alliance spanning several years. I emphasize the use of client input and individualized treatment strategies pulling from Solution-focused systems and psychoanalytic orientations. My approach with therapy is empathic and straightforward. This allows individuals to talk about issues that they might find shameful or embarrassing. I believe I offer an initial 30-minute FREE consultation.
