Experience
I love connecting with people both in their happiest times and in times of suffering. I have had the privilege of working with people from different walks of life throughout my career, facing a wide array of unique challenges. I was able to provide counseling in both a private and nonprofit setting while living in various states, which has taught me to be present, that pain is a universal feeling, and at the end of the day, a little humor about this wild world is a language we all understand.
Approach
Simply put: this is your time and not mine. I want to know how the process is going for you and am open to feedback. I do not know it all by any means and want to grow with you. If a past therapist shared a technique that worked for you? Awesome, we can incorporate it. If you hate receiving homework? We will get rid of it. I want to help you through your journey, not force you down a specific path.
Modality
I typically work from an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Person-Centered framework, interweaving other complimentary styles as appropriate.
