My Approach

I frequently have had clients tell me that they know something is irrational or have worked with therapists who “just listened,” but they still have a hard time changing.  Thus, I work to help you explore your concerns, while I provide enough guidance and feedback so we can collaboratively come to some conclusions and understanding.  If clients are interested in this, I frequently provide tailored homework to their concerns, such as readings or things to think about or try out in between sessions, at no extra cost.

I also strongly value creating a foundation of safety and trust where clients feel truly heard and understood, so that change is possible.  I operate from a strengths-based approach, meaning that I work with clients to recognize and build upon their own strengths, in order to help people create fulfilling, meaningful lives, rather than solely working to reduce problems.
