At the heart of Ben’s practice is a person-centered approach grounded in Carl Rogers’s philosophy: “When I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Ben is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT). He also recently earned his certification as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP). Drawing from these and other therapeutic approaches, Ben thoughtfully tailors his interventions to meet each client where they are.
Ben’s goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or personal growth, he takes time to understand your unique experiences and offers authentic, compassionate support. By building a strong therapeutic relationship and tailoring interventions to your needs, Ben empowers you to make meaningful change. In his work with couples, Ben focuses on strengthening communication, understanding, and connection. He recognizes that relationships can be both deeply rewarding and challenging.
