My approach.
I operate my practice around the value of authenticity. I believe that many people experience struggle in their lives as a result of growing distant from their authentic emotions and motivations. I work with individual clients and couples to reconnect with these aspects of their experiences.
I approach sessions with a compassion, humor, and directness. You may find me to be quite forthright in my feedback. In my experience, confronting unpleasant truths is a necessary part of growth. Therefore, I challenge clients to hear straightforward observations about how they may be contributing to difficulties in their lives.
If you are interested in the approach described here, please reach out. I would love to hear some details about what you want out of therapy when you contact me.
