My Approach to Helping
Life can take detours we never expected. If you find yourself struggling with the changes,
relationships, diagnoses, or culture you are in, or just feel like you have “fallen off the
map” completely, I invite you to come to talk with me for an hour. Together we can explore
where you are at today and draw a map for tomorrow.
My clients describe me as warm, engaging, and educational. Whether they are 5 or 85
years old, they often see our times as their “safe space” to try on different versions of
themselves and practice new skills. Our success in moving forward lies in building up the
resources, flexibility, and confidence to manage the unexpected terrain ahead.
While we are part of many systems, as humans we can also feel isolated in our own
experience. I strive to be authentic during our time so my clients can practice working
with vulnerable and tough topics in a safe and secure relationship. I use Systems, Existential, and Reality Therapy approaches to help you reconnect with yourself and those around you in a more meaningful way. It is not unusual to laugh, cry, and play all in one session!
As clients desire and are comfortable, I am able to integrate spiritual components from
either a shared Christian perspective or a client’s preferred spiritual or expressive
background. Art, drama, games, music, tactile, and storytelling are available during
sessions.
