Life is hard sometimes. We all get bruised. Maybe you feel caught in a loveless relationship; trapped in a job you don't like; traumatized, or even addicted. Maybe you're simply unfulfilled and wanting more; either way, feeling stuck or hopeless doesn't have to be a way of life. It's my goal to help you discover solutions that are right for you. I'm a professionally trained, licensed, and experienced therapist--but a realistic, logical, and heartfelt human being most of all.
I try to meet clients where they are, and generally work from a very humanistic, person-centered perspective. I view the relationship as a therapeutic tool while tailoring interventions to meet the specific moment. I share with clients that I view my role as "sherpa," navigating the rugged terrain of their own unique journeys while traveling alongside with professionally packed tools strategic to one's own path. In this way, I consider myself a "co-journeyer." Sometimes we walk together slowly toward healing, bearing witness to personal experiences; sometimes we endeavor by problem-solving, climbing together toward a chosen end-goal. Whatever that goal--whether learning cognitive coping strategies, or healing from trauma--it's a collaborative effort, and my aim to help you get there.
Clients can expect to receive thoughtful, careful, robust and imaginative care. They can anticipate feeling seen and heard in a way that matters effectively. Most of all, they'll understand that they're not alone on the journey--that someone is in it with them.
