Some point in our life journey, we realize there isn't a manual to show us how to make our lives work the way we had hoped. We find ourselves navigating difficult relationships or unexpected tragedy. Others of us feel mired in a loss of meaning or a deep uncontrollable fear. Whatever the struggle, you do not have to do this alone. I would consider it a privilege to journey together with you. I believe that in the relationship that we form together we can access your wisdom and mobilize your resilience and resources in order for you to move towards a fuller, richer life.
My approach is primarily within the relational model, though I will access other therapeutic tools when appropriate. We will collaborate through feedback on our therapeutic relationship. Through our interactions we will examine the relational strategies you needed in the past that are interfering with your present.
I have also had the privilege of working with children and adolescents. While the principles are similar, play is the language of the child and thus will be an essential part of therapy. I provide a safe space for your child to be heard, both in their words and through what their behavior is communicating.
