Therapy

Reframe + Insight + Practice = Transformation

I believe that that one of the most important things I can do as a therapist is to help create an emotionally safe and open environment where you feel free to be yourself. After all, I believe that any struggle we choose to address is an opportunity to reframe it as an opportunity for growth. And in reframing it, it is my hope to help lead you to some powerful insight about your life. But then I want to help you take that insight and put it into practice, because insight is rarely enough to lead to change. But when you reframe things, learn insight and practice it, then you have transformation.

Step One

What Can I Help You With?

I work with Individuals (men and women/16 and up), Couples, Families, and Organizations. I also offer video or phone sessions (please let my assistant Meagan, or I know if any of these interest you).

Though people come to me with a variety of struggles that I help them work through, my areas of specialty are Relationships, Boundaries and Intimacy (dating, marriage, family, organizations), Anxiety and Depression, Faith and Spirituality, Grief and Loss, and Self-Care and Wellness.

What you can gain in working with me:

Identify the connection between your underlying emotions (root issues) and negative actions.
Identify the connection between your truth/true self and positive actions.
Reframe your struggles as an opportunity for growth. How do these struggles help inform you of what you need to pay attention to?
Create exercises that help you foster awareness and put into practice the insight you have gained, in order to create more permanent change.
Provide you with tools that will help you practice, manage, and actively work through your struggles.
Develop an applicable plan for ongoing growth in your life.
A focus on attachment, emotional regulation, mindfulness and skills practice.
