| Description |
I hold a PhD in Philosophy, a CACREP MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and associate licenses to practice mental health counseling in the states of Ohio and Utah. My focus is on issues pertaining to living a flourishing life and values, purpose and meaning. Prior to entering the mental health field I had an 18 year career teaching philosophy at the university level. I decided to leave academia in order to practice mental health counseling in which I marry philosophy and philosophical insights to evidence-based therapy modalities. |

| Approaches | I offer a non-judgmental, welcoming and confidential space for you to share your concerns. My approach is to develop a trusting, collaborative working relationship with you. You are the expert of your own life. I will listen closely to your concerns and draw on philosophical principles and positions to help you discover solutions that work for you. A philosophical approach to life's problems means first defining clearly what the concern is (its essence), what is driving the concern (its cause), and then trying out what kinds of philosophical positions are helpful for framing and resolving the concern to the extent this is possible. I do not adopt the persona of an expert. Rather, like Socrates, I aim to listen closely and help you work through and get clear about your own beliefs and how best to respond to what concerns you., I have concentrated on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and am certified in Logic-Based Therapy, a modality of philosophical counseling derived from Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy.
