Psychotherapy/Counseling

| Practice Description: |
I approach each individual client, or couple, with the assumption that they are coming to me with an intention to alleviate some discontentment or suffering. I see my job as helping the clients articulate their reasons for seeking therapy, to understand the source of their presenting issues (whether internal, external, or some combination thereof) and to find strategies with them that bring relief.
My style tends to be very interactive and engaging, with an emphasis on caring and supportive feedback throughout the process. I expect my clients to establish the agenda for each session, believing that they know best what needs to be addressed in any given session. I emphasize psychoeducation about the role of, and differences between, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
My theoretical orientation can be described as Integral, an approach that’s based on the work of Ken Wilber and best fits under the transpersonal label. My work is further informed by Buddhist philosophy and Eastern psychology.
