About My Clients
Many of the people that I work with come to therapy during a time of difficult change. Divorce, separation, career changes, or retirement can leave a person wondering how they got to where they are and where to go from here. They often find value in a space where they can speak freely and be taken seriously without being judged or turned into a problem to solve.
What I Specialize In
Words help us make sense of experience, but they can also leave us trapped inside explanations that are no longer helpful. Therapy can become a shared excavation in which we slow down, examine the language surrounding a problem, and untangle assumptions that have become difficult to notice. Together, we may uncover ideas, distinctions, or possibilities that were present all along but obscured by a way of seeing the situation that may no longer be useful. If you use AI, like ChatGPT, Claude, or other tools, to think through parts of your life, you are welcome to bring those conversations into therapy too. I will offer what I notice while remaining open to correction, because you remain the authority on your own life.
My Values as a Therapist
It takes tremendous strength to seek help during what might be one of the most difficult, challenging points in your life. My values as a therapist begin with respect for your authority over your own life and humility about the limits of what I can know about you. I do not treat a diagnosis, theory, or my interpretation as the final truth about your experience. You should understand what I am doing, why I am doing it, and have room throughout therapy to question, decline, or redirect our work. I resist treating every struggle as something wrong within you and consider how relationships, expectations, and circumstances may be contributing. You should be able to speak in your own language and at your own pace. I will listen carefully and avoid forcing your experience into a rigid framework of understanding. I will take your experience seriously, contribute honestly, and remain accountable for how my own words influence the conversation.
