How I Can Help

I help my clients thread the narratives in their experiences through warmth, humor, and affirmation.

• I believe therapy is a working partnership and should be collaborative. I like to think I'm laid-back and funny and that has helped my clients to feel comfortable and supported in session because the work can be difficult, especially if you're starting therapy for the first time. Many of my clients are men who have never considered therapy before and are (understandably) skeptical of it. I think my approach helps clients ease into therapy.

• I think I often work with clients who are looking for clarity on managing their depression and anxiety symptoms and have felt frustrated by the external stresses that make that difficult. I also work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves when angry. Anger is an important emotion but it's easy for people to only pay attention to the behavior and not the underlying issues that led to anger in the first place. I can help with finding that balance in healthy self-expression and communication with others.
