My Approach to Helping

My therapeutic style is client-centered, grounded in wellness, not sickness, blending solution-focused, contemplative, body-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I take a collaborative approach to my work with with my clients, walking beside them as a compassionate and non-judgmental witness and and guide on their journey of healing and growth. I also use existential therapy and logotherapy in my work, with the knowledge that we all want to make meaning and value in our lives.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am particularly adept in helping people deal with grief and loss and life transitions. I have experienced a number of significant losses in my life, and I believe that my personal losses have made me a more empathic and understanding witness to the pain of the bereaved. In addition, because of my empathic understanding, I am able to sit with others in significant emotional pain without judgment or turning away. In addition, I have experienced major life transitions, including in my originally chosen career path. I truly believe being a "wounded healer" makes me a more effective one.
