"I believe that there is no such thing as a bad person. I believe that all humans are fundamentally good and are deserving of love, kindness, and respect. My work as a therapist is grounded in those beliefs. I also believe that as humans, it is our job to screw up, to get stuck, and to experience discomfort, pain, loneliness, sadness, and grief. I believe that really good people can make really bad decisions and get stuck. Those problems in no way disqualify someone from being loved, treated with kindness, and held in respect."

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and a licensed Professional Clinical counselor who has over 13 years of experience in the field.

"As a blogger for Psychology Today whose many articles have received over 28 million views --see http://bit.ly/1EFIEQT -- my specialties are suggested by the various topics I write on: from anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and narcissism, to self-image deficits, compulsive/addictive behaviors, and problematic relationships. Having published a comprehensive book on advanced therapeutic techniques, I'm familiar with all the major schools of therapy. My extensive research--plus over three decades and 35,000 hours of hands-on therapy experience--enable me to tailor my approach to best fit the needs of whomever I'm working with."

"Seeking Psychotherapy is a courageous and hopeful act. While each of us comes to therapy for different reasons, we all need acceptance, empathy, and support to examine our lives and make change.

"Have you have ever wondered why an otherwise successful person has troubled relationships? You can make more conscious choices. Your behavior may not even make sense to you at times, ending up in arguments or broken relationships. You may not know how to stop it. Finding the reasons why you have been making poor decisions can allow you to choose a happy life."

"Does your child say, “You don’t understand” or completely ignores your requests? Do you feel powerless and frustrated that consequences don’t seem to work anymore on your child? We help to empower your family with new ways of communicating and relating, so harmony is restored. Kids need to feel heard and that what they think matters. Children often feel like no adult is listening, at school or at home. We help to give both children and parents a voice, which often calms the chaos. Children and teenagers need help learning how to express their needs in a way that their parents can hear them. "

"Many of us would like to create change within and aren't sure how to do it. We know that we would like to become a better version of ourselves but aren't sure how to start. This is where a supportive and knowledgeable psychologist can assist. Learning to understand the root of the problem is a great stepping stone to deconstruct the negative thought/feeling. With insight of our past we can create a new future. Sometimes we just need an objective observer whom can give us a few pointers. I welcome the opportunity to work with those that are ready to move forward."
