My Therapeutic Approach  

My Therapeutic Approach

There is no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone.

Since “talk therapy” isn't always enough, my approach is a holistic one that integrates both traditional and nontraditional psychotherapy. My work embraces the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

Depending on your unique needs, I may draw from: EMDR therapy,  contemporary couples counseling, body centered therapy and transpersonal psychology. In addition, I utilize marriage and family therapy, guided imagery, Hakomi Therapy, personal coaching, journaling and various meditation practices. 

My holistic approach is strongly influenced by humanistic psychology, New Thought, contemplative psychotherapy and the practices of various spiritual traditions. 

My sessions are highly interactive. While I recognize that individuals must ultimately rely on - and trust - themselves, I believe they also have a right to receive honest and empathetic participation from their therapist. My intention is to be as respectful, supportive - and direct - as I can be. Rather than simply listening passively, I will share specific suggestions and opinions whenever appropriate.

Because therapy is most powerful when individuals actively apply what they learn, my clients and I develop "homework" assignments. This way, what they achieve during their sessions is demonstrated in the real world.

To “jump start” the process, I ask prospective clients to complete a written assignment prior to, or after our first session. This introspection and preparation assists one in becoming clear about intentions, goals, and expectations.

Please feel free to call me with specific questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you in my Denver or Boulder office.
