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

My Approach to Helping

I work with adults from late adolescents to past retirement. I believe the purpose of therapy is to help empower you to solve your problems in a way that is unique to you. I will collaborate with you to help you heal from your pain, find your strengths, improve your relationships and find more enjoyment in life. Together we can help to ease your depression and anxiety, work through your anger and grief and increase your self esteem. Utilizing my expertise as a therapist and your expertise in your life, together, we can unravel the protective layers, at your pace, to end your suffering, increase happiness, and gain the tools to have satisfying relationships. While working with couples or individuals, I keep a perspective on the whole person, from the inner drives and past experiences, to the family and support they have around them currently, to the cultural expectations in our society. The wider the lens, the more informed the decisions and solutions will be. I provide couples counseling and marriage counseling to those of any orientation and in any stage of the relationship from those in the pre-commitment stage, couples having troubles, infidelity and divorce counseling and mediation. I work with womens issues including weight loss and midlife issues and with men and the changing pressures that are unique to them in this society.
