My Approach to Therapy

Do something different. Emotion, not information, drives behavior. The goal of our work is to help you create a deep emotional change which moves you toward greater health. Relaxation allows you to be more emotionally open, so I use hypnosis and guided imagery. This is a solution focused brief therapy approach, so we usually work between 3 and 9 weeks. Stories frame emotion, and we are the stories we tell ourselves, so this is a narrative therapy approach - a place where you can rewrite your life. The consultation is free. Come by if you would like to try something different from the standard CBT approach to therapy.

My Practice & Services

My favorite metaphor for what I do: I'm a wilderness guide, and I've been through a lot of wildernesses, my own and other people's. I have many skills for the wilderness - I can start a fire in the rain, I know how to pitch a tent. The wilderness we're entering is your wilderness, and I've never been here before. I don't know the path, or what we'll encounter. I do know I can come along side you and help you find your way through the wilderness. The path we find has to be your path, though, because this is your wilderness.

I am generally successful with my clients, and often help people overcome stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, and chronic pain. I also work with career and college or high school major decisions.
