I think of a therapist as a wise guide who enters into the life of another human at a time of crisis and provides a compassionate, safe environment in which a person can experience himself more fully - explore, identify, and take initiatives to lessen the causes of her distress. The ideal therapist is one who, above all else, is an advocate for the freedom and well-being of another. The therapist, like spiritual guides of old, offers a balance of acceptance and challenge in helping the person become her best self. By challenge, I mean holding an individual accountable to himself and his potential for purposeful, dynamic living.

I work with clients who are struggling with difficult emotions and unproductive thinking about their problems - rumination, self-blame, and the like. Therapy is designed to help clients use their emotions and thinking to best advantage in lessening their emotional-mental distress, attaining goals, and living their best lives. I ask clients to take an active role in their own therapy processes.

I begin therapy by utilizing client centered methods to gain insight into a client's therapy goals and the nature of her-his concerns. I utilize other methods (CBT, psychoeducation) to assist with expansion of insight, building of skills, and exploration-implementation of solutions. Other therapies, such as EMDR, are utilized as needed to address trauma which may be compromising goal attainment.
