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

My Approach to Helping

I am a down-to-earth, practical, warm, and dedicated therapist, whom people tend to open up to easily. Research indicates that the most important factor in determining successful therapy outcomes is a positive client-therapist relationship. I use this as a guiding principle in my work, always taking care to nurture the relationships with my clients. I look for people's best qualities and strengths, so that I can reflect them back and encourage their further expansion and development. I am fascinated by people's stories and the unique ways each person rises to the challenges in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals and couples.

 

More Info About My Practice

I offer hypnosis both within the context of ongoing psychotherapy (if appropriate and desired), and as a stand-alone, shorter-term intervention for a specific purpose (such as improving sleep). I specialize in smoking cessation.
