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

My Approach to Helping

With an international cross-cultural counseling background and over 25 years of counseling experience, I strive to provide effective therapy in a safe and comfortable environment, allowing clients to explore issues, identify problems and develop approaches that result in achieving a healthier life. I place a priority on integrity and I adhere to the highest professional ethical standards. Confidentiality and client respect comprise the foundation of my work.
I provide counseling to individuals or couples who are experiencing or have experienced economy related stress, abuse, trauma, loss, grief, stress, anxiety, and depression. I counsel individuals who are struggling with relationship problems, terminal illness, chronic pain, disability or managing the care of an older family member.
I take pride in my ability to harness an individual's hidden or neglected strengths, to confront issues and develop plans for coping with and resolving difficult problems.Together we focus on practical solutions to identified problems and work toward resovling impediments to achieving therapy goals.
