About My Clients
Clients come to me to work on issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, recovering from sexual assault/sexual abuse, and for exploring issues of sexual identity or sexuality issues. I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, and entire families — and I am comfortable working with adolescents and adults. I am in-network with several insurance panels.
My Background and Approach
Overy my career I have acquired many "tools" to help individuals, couples, and families. I primarily utilize the Gottman Method, Systemic Therapy, and Family systems therapy. These approaches to therapy are some of the most well researched and effective approaches to helping individuals and couples resolve issues, increase connection, improve communication, and gain a better understanding of how relationships work. I am also a sex therapist, a certified sex addiction therapist (candidate), and a certified partner trauma therapist (candidate)
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One of the greatest joys I have in life is the privilege of walking beside clients on their journey to healing and wellness. I work hard to provide clients with a safe and comfortable space where they can address the issues of importance to them. I view myself as a fellow traveler whose role it is to collaboratively create a map to get clients where they desire to go. No two clients are the same, and no two maps are the same. Each experience with clients is new and deserves a fresh approach which is based on your needs, not mine. I work hard to get to know you, your story, your goals, your strengths, and your growing edges. I hope each and every client leaves the session feeling heard, valued, and respected. When I am not in the office, you can usually find me hanging out at home, tending the garden, collecting eggs from the chickens, caring for our goats, harassing our dogs and cats, or harassing my very patient wife and very tolerant adult children.
