I have spent the last 20+ years growing as an effective clinician, learning along the way that achieving holistic health and reaping the rewards through genuine fulfillment takes courage and calls for commitment of the mind, body, and soul. Therapy as a pathway to that level of emotional health is not a journey you have to walk alone. Being a part of someone else's healing process, or "search for meaning" is an extraordinary experience and certainly a privilege.
Feeling emotionally imbalanced can often feel frightening and worsened by the notion that you are going at it alone. My approach is action-oriented, thought challenging, but reliably embraced with humility, compassion, and human-level connection. Through an integrated and holistic approach to care, my aim is to help you find peace in accepting the things you cannot change; the inspiration, motivation, and courage to change the things that you can, and the insight to understand this difference.
Cultivating an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment is a vital part of the therapeutic experience. While it is important to keep the therapy work in mind, I find it as important to create a friendly and comfortable talking environment. Most of us desire to feel connected and are more likely to commit to therapy when it does not continuously feel like therapy, yet still arrive at the same successful outcome.
