Good to meet you.
Research shows that the single most significant driver of change in therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe effective counseling requires compassion, acceptance, empathy, trust, curiosity, honesty, and a true sense of connection.
My style is supportive, relational, collaborative, and when appropriate, gently challenging. I focus on you, how you and I relate in a therapeutic setting, and what you can learn from the experience to take with you back out into the world.
We might explore family history, habits of mind, interpersonal patterns, existential questions, or other things. But mostly we will focus on how these things manifest themselves in the here and now and how it feels to face them. More than anything, I strive to help people live with resilience, courage, and imagination.
