Counseling Approach and Therapy Methods

I will value you and focus on effectiveness at the same time. I believe that everyone needs help now and then, and that all individuals can be helped. Therapy (meaning psychotherapy or counseling) can improve your life or even be a life saver. I understand how hard it is to open up in therapy, or counseling, and respect every person who does it. In our culture, we often learn that seeking help is a weakness, but it's actually the strongest individuals who admit to having human problems and seek help to take charge of their lives. 
You needn't have a disorder to experience issues that can be addressed effectively with a counselor/psychotherapist. Worry, stress, relationship issues and most other concerns can be addressed in counseling/psychotherapy.
 
Individuals

With individuals, I have an integrative approach (meaning use of more than one therapy type) that's evidence-based and matches the individual's needs and preferences. I often employ cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including ERP (exposure response prevention) for OCD and phobias; mental health education; rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT); dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) methods; meditation; problem-solving; visualization; relaxation exercises; assertiveness training; and more.  I'm also likely to encourage life-style changes, such as the addition of exercise, if needed.

Couples

Solving issues as a couple depends on how well accept, appreciate and show affection for each other. I can help you learn to do these things. Learn to calmly solve disagreements as they arise, if this is an issue in your relationship, without either of you being the loser. You can develop better communications skills, learn to ask for what you need, forgive and improve intimacy. I work with infidelity and trust issues too.
