I am a fun and down-to-earth person. When not working, you will find me outdoors enjoying the mountains and the water, and enjoying deep conversations around campfires. I am trying to get the most out of life, and I get a lot out of the opportunity to share in the experiences of the individuals I work with. I work with both children and adults. I have developed some revolutionary approaches to working with youth, especially with the increase in remote learning and therapy.
I am intrigued by the stories that we are immersed in. Sorting through the stories to make sense of them, reviewing the stories of our past, and identifying if the stories we are trying to write about our futures are desirable and functional. I have an approach that melds aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, and experiential/play Therapy. I am very adaptable to what comes up and listen to where the wind should take us, rather than where different theories should take us.
I am not interested in just being a soundboard for you. At a minimum, I will be a journal that talks back, and you will find that our time together is a two-way street where we are trying to understand the material we are processing. You can trust that I will be engaged with you. If therapy ever feels dull, it means we are missing each other and failing to have a meaningful conversation.
