You have made the brave decision to show up for therapy, to show up for YOU. I attempt to understand the world from the client's view; to give the most valuable healing gift: being heard. Together, we determine what is missing & what is important (the Why: purpose), how the client wants to find fulfillment (the What: set goals). We determine How we will know they are successful and can continue on their own (measures for termination). I've been a Chaplain. I counseled people living with schizophrenia, bi-polar, or addictions, and prisoners - exhibiting anxiety, depression, grief, identity disorders, impulsivity & trauma response.
I respect the person in front of me. I specialize in conscious freedom mindfulness, life meaning-making, trauma harm mitigation, control need/hoarding reduction. I create an accepting non-judgmental environment where the client feels respected and understands they will be guided, not pushed. All decisions are in their hands as we talk through all the
sides or concepts they bring to the sessions. I present many resources other than myself, and utilizing CBT, and several other strategies when appropriate, ask for "homework / practice to be done to help instill habits of change they desire. Flexible in my approach, I am ready to accommodate the client's needs & learn from their experience and inner wisdom.

People present with a complex array of experiences. In attempts to meet people where they are to be effective for them; I have sought out different therapy styles. Yet, studies consistently show that outcomes are dependent on therapeutic rapport, which is established by genuine respect, curiosity and listening. That is what I bring to you. A non-judgmental open heart and 11 years of clinical work.
