“When people don't have any curiosity about themselves, that is always a bad sign.” Irvin Yalom Hello! You reading this seems to be a good sign; it tells me you have an interest in examining your life, as something probably isn’t working the way you’d like it to. I use a humanistic therapy approach, specifically existentialism, reality therapy, and attachment theory — although these might not mean anything to you now, they will — as I enjoy sharing everything I know with the hope it will help create additional meaning in your life. We'll start by peeling back layers in pursuit of truth, as truth and taking responsibility are key.
I don’t see my role as someone to make you feel better. I see my role as a listener, challenger, and supporter of confronting the things you don’t want to look at. After our first meeting, I hope you leave with more self-awareness than you came in with, feel motivated to change, and are a little scared of what’s to come.
One of my favorite quotes is, “Living safely is dangerous,” – Irvin Yalom; so when you’re ready to dive into the nitty-gritty – the good, bad, and ugly of your existence, I’ll be here, ready to help explore the chaos and messiness of life with you!
