My Background and Approach
First, I listen to your story without any judgment and only then offer perspectives on how to help you meet your chosen goals. Any issue in your life that affects your emotions is important to our work together. We can talk about your family, physical health, financial woes, relationships, career decisions, cultural background, sexual identity, and anything else that is on your mind. My approach is always centered on which strategy or coping skill addresses your needs. These approaches are labeled Eclectic, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Holistic, CBT, DBT, IFS, among others. That means I match what you want to accomplish in therapy to the hundreds of ways to get there. I work with couples, families, and individuals over 13. I love the challenges and joys of helping people in relationships to understand how to do better for themselves and each other. Gottman is my go-to approach to couples, and I make every effort to be non-judgmental and equitable to all parties.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My affirmation of all life styles can best be described as compassionate and empathetic. I know from family members that being trans is especially challenging in our current cultural moment, though any shift in identity is an opportunity to engage in counseling for support. Those who have suffered spiritual trauma need support as well. Painful experiences may not discussed in your community and I am here for you.
