My Approach to Helping

We all have the resources and solutions within ourselves, we are all inherently good and doing the best we can, and we are all capable of being spiritual, even if we have no religious affiliation or belief in a higher power. My mission as a therapist is to empower others to mobilize their inner resources, to help others clarify their values and their purpose, and to help others realize their potential and feel fulfilled.

More Info About My Practice

Therapy should be goal oriented, focused on solutions, and of limited duration.

My Guiding Ethical Principles

Therapy should empower others to heal, not enable others to live dysfunctional lives.

My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'

Psychiatric disorders are artificial constructs, more useful for insurance purposes than for treatment. We are all inherently healthy, regardless of the symptoms that motivate us to seek professional help.
