About My Clients
Therapy can become a shared excavation as we untangle assumptions that have become difficult to notice. I have a particular interest in working with men, including those who may be unsure what they want from therapy. I resist treating every struggle as something wrong within you and remain attentive to the circumstances around it. You should be able to speak in your own language and at your own pace, while remaining the authority on your own life.
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.
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.
