I am an older male with many years of experience. I am familiar and proficient in utilizing psychodynamic therapy as well as more prevalent modalities such as CBT, ACT and mindfulness. I am also proficient in couples therapy. I have studied emotionally focused treatment and have also helped couples to improve their physical intimacy. In recent years I have studied mindfulness and integrate it into other modalities such as ACT.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My focus is to establish a connection and determine the clients goals and asperations. I avoid overt use of techniques and therapy jargon. I am plain spoken and often try to lighten up therapy with humor.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My ability to understand and relate to people from various backgrounds and life experiences. there is no substitute for empathy and that is the secret sauce of all therapies.
