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

My Approach to Helping

I've been a practicing psychotherapist since 1982 and use an integrative and humanistic approach to problem solving, symptom relief, and relationship repair. I'm trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and over the years have integrated spiritual, behavioral and cognitive techniques.I believe people are entitled to be heard without judgment or criticism. I provide a corrective emotional experience that allows clients to feel fully entitled and free to be assertive, connected, and reach their fullest potential.My ongoing thoughts and experiences as a psychotherapist are available on my blog: https://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-therapist-is-in
