If you are reading this that means you are taking a meaningful step toward healing. Choosing a therapist is so important but can be confusing and intimidating, so I will try to break down my perspective and approach, so you can see if we’re a good fit.

I use a person-centered, existential, and strengths-based approach, which means I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and what I can offer as your therapist is a non-judgmental and genuine environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I seek to understand the meaning my clients are giving to different facets of their lives and work with them to identify changes they can make—when they are ready—to live more authentically. Also, I recognize the importance of simply empathizing with my client’s experiences and being willing to sit in the muck with them for a while.

I am passionate about working with those experiencing grief and loss issues, including losses such as the death of a loved one, or the ending of a friendship, romantic relationship, or job. Additionally, I have knowledge in working with those with chronic and life-threatening illnesses, and their family members and/or caregivers.
