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

My Approach to Helping

I work with people in a supportive manner. We plan our therapy together and evaluate our progress regularly. We can modify our goals if needed. I describe my approach as eclectic, using parts of different therapy modalities best suited to address specific problems.

 

More Info About My Practice

This is my 25th year in successful private practice.
I provide a sliding scale for people who choose not to use insurance or are without coverage. My two offices are private and comfortable. I do my own billing, appointment scheduling and phone messaging to insure confidentiality.

 

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

People engage in therapy because they are experiencing pain and discomfort. The purpose of therapy is to explore that pain and address means of overcoming and/or coping with the discomfort. In short, to increase one's sense of well being.

 

My Role as a Therapist

My role is to explore with you the causes of your discomfort and help you find effective ways to address your problems.
