About My Clients

We will work together to build insight and reduce symptoms that can cause distress. You will deepen your sense of awareness, create balance and establish healthy patterns of growth. We will build a private, trusting, collaborative therapeutic relationship to assist in accomplishing your goals. My intention is for each client to build capacity and become as independent as possible.

My Background and Approach

I believe that by way of an examined life one produces a better version of themselves. Through dialogue we will discover what problems you are facing. Over time these problems will be more properly defined and a better vision of life will be constructed. Any identified issue is not typically a neat problem that can be managed in isolation. The problem is likely tangled into multiple sections of a person’s life. The problem may have a psychological component but can also be embedded in the world in which the person is operating. The goal is not to 'remove' the ‘mental illness’ but to help a client to move toward a better life. Your life isn’t what you want it to be? How would it look if it was?

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that asking ourselves overarching questions elicit directions and values which then direct goals and self-actualization. What exactly are we meant to be doing with our lives. What should we be doing with our time? Through answering these questions a client will find their personal values and beliefs resulting a deeper discovery of themselves.
