Accepting New Clients - Summer 2024! My approach is heavily informed by the narrative worldview. I believe in helping people understand the relationship they have with the problems that are blocking them from their preferred ways of living. Sometimes that looks like depression holding them to their beds, or anxiety stealing away your confidence, or shame interfering with your relationships. Other times, these problems can have long histories and contexts within society - the image of the “ideal man or woman,” familial expectations of success and prosperity, or unrealistic timelines of life that people become beholden to.

Clients I work with are often seeking to live more mindful, balanced and sustainable lives. I work with clients where they are to meet life's challenges and opportunities more skillfully.
