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

My Approach to Helping

I would like to provide you with a therapeutic experience that is thoughtful, empowering and in collaboration with you, as you adapt to and grow from life's challenges. When you feel overwhelmed by stress and find managing your life to be difficult, having a trusting and supportive therapeutic experience can help you move more easily towards change. I will support you as you gain capacity to adapt to stress and find balance by providing you with continuous opportunities to realize your unlimited potential to heal from loss, gain resiliency, find inner-strength and peace, and maintain healthy and satisfying relationships.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

I view the purpose of psychotherapy as a way to find your most authentic self; your most satisfied and joyful self, regardless of your circumstances. This process is realized through the therapeutic experience with focus on the relationship. The ideal therapist is unconditional, warm and insightful and gently encourages you to take the risks needed to heal and grow as you realize the best you-the you who exists inside of you already. The purpose of psychotherapy is for the most satisfied you to be unearthed.
