About My Clients
My clients are typically adults ready to work on their shit. Regardless of labels, you can expect a safe, judgment-free, affirming, positive, bullshit-free zone where—together—we will work on the things that are no longer working for you. The Catalyst Counseling Approach is Especially Effective When Dealing With: ● Trauma ● Anxiety ● Depression ● Communication Barriers
My Background and Approach
I use a combination of strengths-based focus and basic behavioral and cognitive principles. I practice motivational interviewing with an emphasis on uncovering and identifying your intrinsic motivation for change. These methods are particularly effective for Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and Psychotic Disorders. I believe in the power of relationship and the transformative nature of the therapeutic process. As a Psychological Examiner, I also perform specialized psychological evaluations, psycho-educational testing, career testing, objective-personality testing, diagnostic interviewing, and consultation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a progressive humanist. I believe that black lives matter and that gay rights are human rights. I have always been an ally and even ran for office against the most reviled, bigoted person in our state legislature in an effort to stop the flood of hate filled legislation coming out of our state government.
