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

My Approach to Helping

My belief that everyone has within them the ability to create the positive change they desire guides and directs my work as a counselor.
I approach therapy from a non-pathological position because I believe we all go through life events, transitions and changes that can create stress, loss and difficulty in relationships. I also believe that empathy, compassion, forgiveness and healthy communication are foundational to all relationships.

 

More Info About My Practice

I use a balanced approach to counseling utilizing cognitive behavioral, insight-oriented, mindful techniques.
I work with couples and individuals in the area of relationships and marriage, grief and loss, stress and worry, feelings of depression, life transitions, and whole person/healthy lifestyle. I also offer financial counseling.

 

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Stress, worry and anxiety interfere with feeling joy and fullness of life. I have experienced this first hand in my own life and those I have worked with over the years. We will never completely eliminate stress from our lives but we can learn to manage stress, anxiety and worry through mindful awareness of our habitual reactions to external circumstances. I help people to work with the parts of themselves that experience stress, anxiety and worry using mindfulness stress reduction and relaxation methods.
