The Value of PsychotherapyThere are times when we can't rely on family and friends for the help we need. Psychotherapy and counseling can help you resolve problems or issues that interfere with your happiness. Psychotherapy can provide you with insights to help you understand and cherish yourself. Psychotherapy and counseling can help you identify your personal values and work toward your goals. The great value of psychotherapy is that it helps you befriend yourself more fully.

My Psychotherapy Practice
I have been in practice for over 35 years. In that time, I have integrated a number of psychotherapy models into my work, from Client-Centered and Gestalt therapy to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I also work with energetic models such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
More recently I have come to integrate the wisdom of Buddhist psychology into my work. I have found it to be a wonderful guiding theory, beginning with the obvious truth that pain and suffering are a part of life. None of us is immune. Buddhist Psychology also teaches that we can find happiness by cultivating good relationships, developing self-awareness and self-knowledge, and practicing mindfulness in everyday life. My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide you with both the concrete tools and the insights that will clarify your values and move you into a life filled with meaning. |
