In the therapy session, I work to create a safe place to be our true, human selves—where both our worst and best qualities will in time be revealed. I work in the here-and-now: exploring your present concerns and goals more than your past history. I know that empathy promotes healing and ask for feedback to be sure my clients feel understood. I provide resources, tools and skills clients can use between sessions. I also work to help people learn self-compassion (see www.self-compassion.org), since that ability is necessary to heal and grow.
I am committed to continually growing my skills and clinical understanding. With couples, I draw on my training with Sue Johnson in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I am also studying and practicing Nonviolent Communication—a powerful language for emotions and human needs—and find this model to be helpful with clients.
In my sessions, I strive to be as "real" as is clinically appropriate. In my experience, the therapist's skillful revealing of his/her emotions in response to the client is central to the healing process.
