Get to know your presenting issues, where they come from, how they serve (and don't really serve) you, and find a path forward. We will also understand your feelings and how you can cope with them in the moment.

I am actively committed to helping clients learn more about themselves. I don’t just sit and listen. I talk and ask thought-provoking questions. I offer new perspectives while also offering time to reflect together.
I encourage my clients to think about what they want to be different about their lives so we can identify the goals and direction of our work together. Typical areas of change are: self, marriage, family, work, friendships, children, hobbies, etc.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focus Therapy to help my clients identify and resolve issues in their own thoughts, behaviors, and boundaries with others. My approach is direct, non-judgmental, and supportive.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
We will examine your present behaviors, explore the origins of those behaviors, talk about the needs being met by those behaviors and the possible harm created by those behaviors. We will work together to create healthy behaviors for optimal living.

I do not believe in portraying myself as the stone-faced therapist. You can expect to speak with a human. There will be some laughter, there will be some hard truths, and you can always count on their being true care and concern for your well-being.
My goal in our therapy or coaching sessions is to help you tap into your own resilience as you deepen insight, foster personal empowerment, and create meaningful, lasting changes in your life and relationships.

My experience as a wilderness therapist has taught me the immense power of relationships- relationships with ourselves, our significant others, and with nature- for personal growth and self-actualization. Relationships are everything!
