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

My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy is integrated, collaborative, direct, and compassionate. It combines Compassion Focused Therapy with evidence-based Cognitive Therapy, Family Systems based therapy, theory, and other therapeutic approaches to help individuals reach their own life goals, heal from traumatic experiences, move forward when stuck into unhealthy patterns. Sometimes I use humor to lighten things up, other times psychoeducation to inform, and other times solution-based techniques to solve problems. In a private and confidential setting I seek to empower my clients and to motivate them to care for their own wellbeing, to become sensitive to their own needs and distress, and to extend warmth and understanding towards themselves and others.
