About My Clients
We all have challenges in life. Although the specific situations are diverse, the universal needs of belonging, feeling capable, being valued, and feeling whole commonly rise to the surface in my work with clients. Often my clients are looking for a new approach to therapy. I work to meet these needs by tailoring the treatment setting and process to the individual. My hope is my clients feel like co-collaborators in the process, as we work toward discovering new ways of being and thinking.
My Background and Approach
Everything starts with understanding you, your situation, and hopes, as well as helping you feel comfortable with the process. We'll work collaboratively to come up with goals and methods that fit you, so you have a clearer understanding of the problems at hand and the work to be done to respond to those difficulties. We'll also establish how and where you'd like to meet. I commonly go on walks with clients during sessions or take sessions outside. We can incorporate adventure-therapy and experiential components into the treatment process, getting you engaged beyond just thinking and taking as we work through difficulties like anxiety or depression symptoms or build new skills like focusing attention, regulating our nervous systems, or improving communication. I also utilize evidence-based treatment theories and practices to inform my work. For those that prefer the privacy and comfort of the office setting, I have this option available as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Each one of us is living a story, and our stories are filled with joys, sorrows, strengths, struggles, and all kinds of twists and turns. Wherever you find yourself in your story, it's helpful to know that a new chapter can be started at any point. Deciding to go to therapy can be like writing a new chapter. The keys are that you get to decide what the chapter will hold, how it will be written, and the things that are most important. As a therapist, I'll help you find your voice, believe something new is possible, and help establish the stepping stones that can get you there. Your story is a valuable one, and we all have something valuable gifts and strengths to contribute to those around us and to the world.
