Who Am I?
You are good. You are capable of change and growth. But life can be really challenging at times. We get hurt. We feel stuck. Healing and growth are possible when you have someone to talk with who is genuine, empathic, supportive, and non-judgmental. Above everything else, I strive to create that kind of relationship with my clients.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and kids, reading, listening to podcasts, and watching Netflix. I also lead retreats and work with spiritual leaders to help them safeguard their communities against spiritual abuse.
How I Help
I empower my clients to identify what they want to change, set their own goals, and pursue them together. My approach is collaborative. You are the best expert on your life. But sometimes it’s difficult to fully see ourselves for who we are, where we came from, and how we are interconnected with our families, friends, communities, and cultures. I use Person-Centered techniques and interpersonal processing to help you reflect on your thoughts, emotions, experiences, stories, and relationships for you to more clearly understand who you are and to feel empowered to make decisions and overcome any obstacles you have to move forward.
We are body, mind, heart, and soul and our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and physical experiences are all connected. Faith and spirituality can be a great source of meaning and comfort. But spiritual struggles can be painful and faith communities can be places where we experience real harm and suffering. If you want, I am able to help you explore your spiritual beliefs and practices and how they affect the other dimensions of your life. I welcome clients of all, or no, faith backgrounds.
