Holistic Approaches to Personal Change:
Psychotherapy and Private Behavioral Health Counseling


Better living through behavior change:
 . . . Get out of your mind and into your life!
Dedicated to the people I serve, I have enjoyed providing psychotherapy and mental health care through the practice of evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapy for two full decades. My solo private practice offers an elegant, relaxed and entirely confidential setting for the effective realization of vital personal change.

Solution focused with my clients, I help people resolve psychological problems that involve issues of depression and anxiety: therapy options for "panic attack", simple phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar II illness, post traumatic stress disorder PTSD, anger management, stress reduction, social anxiety, trauma and phobic avoidance.

Seattle Psychotherapist and Mental Health Counselor:
Skills Based Counseling and Solution Focused Psychotherapy As a psychotherapist and mental health counselor, I assist individuals, couples, and families by providing skills-based counseling and psychotherapy to help clients effectively manage their moods, emotions and behavior. Restore your marital relationship with collaborative couples behavior counseling. My Seattle therapy practice helps you learn lasting personal competencies to resolve unwanted self defeating habits and behavior problems that you have not been able to solve alone.

Self Regulation and Habit Management:
Personal Skills Based Counseling for Addictive Behavior Change Going far beyond simple alcohol and drug counseling, I am a therapist that will help you explore the meaning of "addiction" and learn to quit self-defeating addictive behaviors. Private counseling or treatment for substance abuse and chemical dependency: crack, cocaine, speed, crystal meth, nicotine and cigarette smoking, alcohol, valium, and narcotics like heroin oxycontin or other pain medications.

• Addictive Compulsive Behavioral Problems: Non-Chemical Dependency
• The Learning Process Model of Addictions: Beyond the Disease Concept
• Evidence Based Psychotherapy: Seattle Drug Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Psychologists have recognized that people can become "addicted" to certain life-defeating behaviors. These have been called "learning process" or "clean" behavioral addictions. Cognitive and Behavioral Counseling methods help you learn lasting coping skills that remedy habitual unwanted behaviors.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy teaches you to resolve unwanted addictive habits like compulsive internet use, chat rooms, computer multiplayer online role play games, shopping, binge eating, pornography addiction, sex addiction and compulsive gambling problems.

Each of my clients present to my practice with specific needs: from substance abuse or chemical dependency to formal addiction with physical withdrawal. If we discover that formal "rehabilitation" inpatient recovery center treatment is indicated, I will help you find treatment options that work for you – do nothing – and nothing changes!
