My approach to doing psychotherapy is a contemporary psychoanalytic approach. This approach is a form of psychotherapy which helps patients heal through the safe, mutual exploration of previous life experiences and current life circumstances. More importantly, transformation in psychoanalytic therapy occurs through the participation by the patient in a relationship with the therapist in which the two partners, through their mutual exploration of life history, relationships, and the here-and-now experience of relating in therapy, come to help patients heal wounds, know themselves better, and lead healthier and more satisfying lives.

Life can be stressful and dealing with it can lead to anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns and many other emotions that can leave us feeling completely overwhelmed and with little hope that things will ever get better. But I know that people are capable of extraordinary things, especially when we open our hearts to having someone present throughout the journey to self-improvement. As a Christian, I feel that this journey is meant to be shared with others. As a former caregiver who routinely saw good people at their very worst times, I understand the need to feel heard, seen, valued, respected, encouraged, and supported.

My years of academic and professional experience have allowed me to effectively work with a diverse client population of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and behavioral/mental health issues, especially those experiencing difficult life circumstances. I strive to help clients navigate situations related to burnout, existential crises, mindfulness, self-care, distress intolerance, interpersonal conflicts, and life transitions.

“Every genuinely loving relationship is one of mutual psychotherapy.” So wrote M. Scott Peck in "The Road Less Traveled." I knew Scotty, and he included our 10-yr. correspondence in his final papers. I now teach couples how to become their OWN mutual therapists. Most of us have scars from our childhood or past relationships that deter us from opening our hearts even to those we claim to love. Many couples thus enter into a tacit agreement not to rock the relational boat. But I see relational tension as a thrust for both personal authenticity AND intimacy. A blessing, not a curse, it is the very coin of the mutual-therapeutic realm.

Making healthy changes in life can be difficult when experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, job stressors, and other challenges. I believe in taking a non judgmental approach, while providing a caring and safe therapeutic environment. My goal at True Self Counseling is to help you gain a new perspective and provide you with skills to help you move forward in life.

You seek counseling because you want something different for yourself and to find new possibilities where you feel stuck. As much as you feel capable in parts of your life, your inability to solve these issues makes you doubt yourself and perhaps feel like your own liability.
