You have inherent worth and value. My "Treasure Therapy" is a journey to rediscover that treasure. We are all interconnected as part of the same human “family” systems or fields.

Therefore, rather than trying to outright change you, my approach starts with mindfulness and paradoxical acceptance. Change is a byproduct of radical acceptance.

Psychotherapy can mean different things for different professionals. For me, it's another word for therapy or counseling - the process of sitting down with a warm and skilled professional to figure out how to achieve your life goals. and improve your relationships. Don't let the word "psychotherapy" scare you away from what can often be a powerful tool for improving your life. Trust your instinct about who to choose, and don't hesitate to stop therapy if you don't feel a connection with your therapist. The truth is that unless you really believe your therapist cares about your life, sophisticated therapy interventions and techniques are worthless. Remember to look for that connection!

Psychotherapy encompasses more than support, problem solving, or coaching. It is the process of engaging with another person, a skilled therapist, to help you learn more about yourself and see yourself more accurately. With a skilled therapist such as a licensed clinical psychologist, you can assess what you like and what you'd like to change about yourself and your life. You can explore what keeps you "stuck" in unhappy or self-defeating circumstances and work toward gaining the insight you need to have a happier and more satisfying life.

“The Golden Rule” can be a helpful guide to psychotherapy: treating others as you would like to be treated, with gentleness, pacing, and respect. If a counseling session is likened to conversing with a knowledgeable advisor on the doorstep of your home, psychotherapy can be like inviting that advisor into the “parlor” or “living room” of your inner world based on trust, at-ease-ness, and confidence in your advisor’s insight. My approach to psychotherapy is interactive and strengths-based, starting with cognitive (thought-based) or behavioral coping skills, and moving into awareness of family of origin themes and the impact of past trauma when needed to activate more enduring personal growth in the client.
