About
I know what drew me to counseling. I would love to know more about what draws you. Do you worry you’re not enough? Does it all feel pointless? Are you feeling like the world requires more than you can give? I’m passionate about helping clients face their struggles and discover a new way of being, connecting to forgotten parts of themselves and rediscovering their inherent value. I assist clients in seeing and recrafting their story. Since it is their story (not mine), my clients set their own priorities and values; I will not tell you what to do or what to believe. We can work together to find hope in a new narrative. I help individual adults and couples in counseling using IFS, EFT and narrative therapy approaches, along with tools from CDT, DBT and somatic work. I accompany clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, divorce, addiction, men’s issues or bipolar disorder. Please reach out to me. I know it can be difficult to take that step. I will respond within 24 hours and I have availability for you to come see me soon.
