How I Work As a Therapist

I believe we all story our lives against the backdrop of our personal discourse, family discourse, and societal discourse.  Some of the stories we identify with have been beneficial yet others have been less helpful or even hinder us to reach the happiness and contentment we seek.  I work from a strengths-based approach working collaboratively with clients to re-author their stories and strive for the positive changes they are seeking.

Change is often nonlinear and happens once we've let go and exhausted all the possible ways that we can hang on to the way things were.  This means meeting clients at their current state of change and helping them cultivate the space for positive growth to happen.

I work with both individual clients and couples.  While I have certain clinical areas of focus that I enjoy, I very much like being a “generalist.”  Being in private practice I get the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients, presenting concerns, age groups, and demographics.  As a therapist I feel this keeps me engaged in a full range of clinic work and “the human experience.”  Almost all of my clients are adults 18+ and I work with clients across the lifecycle.  Some clients I see for a few sessions and others I have been working with for several years.
