Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I view therapy as a process of meeting people where they are and helping them navigate the path to where they want to be. The further people deviate from what really gives their life meaning and purpose, the more pain and suffering they experience. I work collaboratively with people to clarify what gives their life meaning, explore past efforts to solve problems that have not worked, develop insight into themselves and their relationships, and help make lasting changes to live a fulfilling life.
My commitment to every person I work with is to honor all parts of their humanity. I do not view the people I work with as a “disease” or as someone who needs to be “fixed” or “cured.” If we can be certain about anything in life, it is that there will be suffering. How we respond to this suffering is crucial to living a life full of meaning, purpose, and vitality.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
When working with me, you can expect a collaborative approach tailored to you. Therapy can look very different depending on the concerns that are being addressed and the individual characteristics that make each person unique. For many, therapy can bring up any number of distressing emotions, thoughts, sensations, and memories that they were not expecting. Often, people report feeling worse before they begin to feel better. With this understanding, I want to work with you through this sometimes messy process of growth.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I integrate interventions from a variety of scientifically supported treatments including humanistic, existential, acceptance and commitment, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems theory. I strongly believe that, regardless of therapeutic approach, the counseling relationship is the most influential factor in therapy. Our connection with one another as humans is crucial. I strive to create an environment that honors each person’s autonomy and experiences in the context of their unique and intersecting identities.
