Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Wesley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with both individuals and couples, no matter where they find themselves. My experience over the last 10 plus years in the field has often seen me helping folks who feel stuck. They can’t seem to figure out what’s going on inside themselves or their situation. Or even if they have do, they don’t know how to navigate it. My role is to come alongside them to make sense of their experience and chart a path forward to find deeper understanding, clarity, and peace.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaboratively identifying where a client wants to be and helping them take steps forward. Together, we sift through the combination of thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that make up who they are to help free them from the boxes they find themselves in. Through that process, I use my experience and training in EMDR, IFS, and other modalities to help tailor a plan that fits best for the person. My training as a Narrative Enneagram teacher can also be utilized by those desiring that approach.

What you can expect from me

A typical first session entails sharing a little about therapy and my approach before transitioning to what is currently bringing you into therapy. After getting to know you and your situation a little, we would transition to identifying what you would want to get out of therapy. That could be a wide variety of things and I could help you figure it out if it’s not clear. From there we would get some background information and discuss the best ways specifically for you to help you move forward.
