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

My Approach to Helping

My mission is to offer genuine presence, thoughtful interaction, and individualized attention to each person I work with. My approach to therapy involves clarity and acceptance of you where you are. First and foremost, therapy is about forming a relationship. Regardless of the techniques a therapist may use, the building of the relationship is most important. As you progress in therapy and establish trust, the therapeutic relationship becomes a dynamic "workspace" in which to examine and resolve your issues and life's ongoing challenges. Because therapy is a process wherein you intentionally make yourself vulnerable to another person, it is important to chose a therapist to whom you can feel connected and with whom you feel safe. This process of self revealing and trust building leads to growth, change, and healing. Essentials of my approach are: confidentiality, safety, compassion, and respect for your values, your perspective and your capacity to make your own choices.
