Therapy can be interesting, moving and fun. It can also be difficult. I help you balance these dynamics for change. My approach is strength-based, positive and individually tailored to your needs. We begin by identifying your strengths and look at the places where you are able to use them and the blocks you are experiencing. Through engaging, supportive and challenging discussion, exercises and practice, you come to different, more effective, approaches and experiences.
Specialties include: Depression and Anxiety, Trauma/ PTSD, Spiritual Integration and Individual and Couples transition. Additional specialties include: therapy for Therapists, Clergy, Athletes and First Responders. I have post-graduate training in CBT, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I integrate clinical approaches depending on your interest. My goal is to use the language that you have found meaningful and liberating and to amplify and enliven your experience. I am also a certified Pastoral Counselor (http://aapc.org). My own formation is grounded in Lutheran, Reformed Christian and Catholic faith and practice.
