About My Clients
I can help you make sense of life, learn new tools, and a fresh perspective so you can define and navigate the future you desire. I'm passionate about life transitions, grief & loss, career counseling, work stress, the LGBTQIA+ community, navigating sexual orientation & gender identity, shame, relationship dynamics (monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous), mood disorders, depression, anxiety, adult children of alcoholics, substance use, addictions, spirituality, and religious trauma.
My Background and Approach
Working with me you will experience an empathetic, healing, understanding, authentic, and trusting spirit who accepts and celebrates you just exactly where and as who you are. As an added bonus, I’ve got incredible wit, humor, and a spirit of directness that masterfully blends into my sessions. I honor and celebrate all persons; you'll be at ease with me. I believe in the irony that to move fast we must go slow and if we try to force quick healing it is rarely effective long-term. I approach my work from a humanistic orientation based in person-centered and relational therapy. I find ways to creatively weave in therapeutically appropriate tools including cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused, motivational interviewing, narrative, gestalt, mindfulness, existential, psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, & psychoeducation (all with minimal psychobabble) to advance our work and ease your journey. Ultimately, my job is to be out of a job and see you equip you to navigate life solo.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Working with me you will experience an empathetic, healing, understanding, authentic, and trusting spirit who accepts and celebrates you just exactly where and as who you are. As an added bonus, I’ve got incredible wit, humor, and a spirit of directness that masterfully blends into my sessions. Regardless of your socio-economic status, abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender presentation, gender transition interests, relationship constructs, beliefs, practices, spiritual or religious background, or personal interests I welcome and celebrate all. Whether you’re a lawyer, minister, accountant, sex worker, teacher, convenience store worker, doctor, construction worker, engineer, or fellow counselor, you are welcome here.
