Approach
A philosophy of counseling.
I believe the stories we tell about ourselves shape the lives we actually live. Therapy is the space where those stories get examined and rewritten
People often arrive in therapy with a problem they want to get rid of and a self they're quietly hoping is fundamentally okay. I take both of those things seriously. We'll work on the problem. And underneath that, we'll keep returning to the deeper questions: who are you, what do you actually want, and what are you willing to do to get there?
I'm an integrative counselor, which means I don't force one model onto everyone who walks in. Some weeks we'll be examining a story you've carried since childhood. Some weeks we'll be practicing how to interrupt a thought spiral on a Tuesday morning, and both matter.
How I work
Narrative Therapy
We pay attention to the stories you've inherited and told about yourself - and which ones are still serving you. You are not the problem; the problem is the problem.
Existential Therapy
We make room for the bigger questions: freedom, responsibility, meaning, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that's yours.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
We get curious about the different parts of you - the protector, the critic, the one who carries old pain - and help them work together under an integrated Self.
Gottman Method (Couples)
For couples, I draw on my completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy - a research-based approach to strengthening friendship, managing conflict, and building shared meaning.
