About My Clients
Are you painfully aware of the distance between who you would like to be and who you feel that you are? Do you feel hungry to find a way of living that suits you better and is more sustainable? A way of living that doesn’t leave you stressed, depressed or anxious at the end of the day? If this is you, now is a good time to embrace your journey towards a better life.
My Background and Approach
Many people feel anxious about starting therapy. They wonder if their issues are weird, or unique, or if they’ll know how to do therapy right. I truly believe that there is no cookie cutter approach to therapy, so what I have to offer my clients is a warm and collaborative approach to goal setting so that we can build sessions that work for you. Some of my clients need a place to tell their story and be heard, others are wanting to learn new skills, most need a combination of both. Within the counseling relationship I have skills to offer my clients from many different counseling approaches. I work hard to join my clients in their experience of stress, pain or desire for growth to give them an ally in their journey towards greater health and wellness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a Christian, active both in my faith and Church community. My beliefs help me to approach every client with love, knowing that they are made in the image and likeness of God. You don’t have to subscribe to the same faith or any faith to work with me. As I work with you, you can expect to find me curious about and respectful of the way that you see and interpret the world. I also live on a small homestead in Haines Alaska with my wife and four children. Sustainability and self-reliance are important values to us and we seek to grow and raise more and more of our own food every year. I find that my lifestyle creates an easy bond with other rural Alaskans that deeply value independence, self-reliance and small community ways of life.
