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

My Approach to Helping

If you are experiencing difficulties in your life, you may be seeking help to uncover the underlying issues. It can be frustrating and exhausting to continually feel locked in a cycle of unhappiness or lack of fulfillment. If you are seeking to gain better balance in your life, I can help you to move toward it. My specialties include helping those who suffer from uncomfortable mood swings, who struggle with substance abuse or other addiction issues, and couples seeking to gain greater intimacy and trust. I also work with individuals searching for increased self-esteem and coping skills to improve their daily lives and relationships. I offer a phone consultation free of charge to determine if my services are a good fit for you. Please contact by phone to set up initial session.

 

More Info About My Practice

As a therapist, my philosophy is existential in nature. I believe that no matter what issue you may be dealing with, it can be traced to our universal human struggle to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in life. My goal as a therapist is to gently lead clients toward realizing their blocks to personal growth and to confront the ways that they are experiencing "stuckness" in their lives. I work with people to uncover the issues which are preventing them from fully enjoying their lives, and to identify unique qualities in themselves. In my opinion, the key to good therapy is increasing self-awareness and discovering new aspects of oneself - "Why do I do that?" "Why is it that people seem to respond to me in this way?" - which can lead to greater personal happiness.
