I am passionate about working with you to realize the change you want for your life. Change can take place internally and externally. In the short term, we might focus on small changes you can make externally that will better your life, while also attending to the internal changes that bring long-term balance. My approach is highly collaborative, interactive, and I know how to laugh at myself. I believe in providing tools and homework in addition to pursuing the deeper work of change. I won't ask you, "How does that make you feel?" because I realize that it probably won't be the most effective way for us to accomplish our work. Instead, I will be real with you and listen without judgment. I might even crack a joke or two. I employ mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-oriented approaches. We'll talk about what's not working and what you want to do to make a change. Most importantly, I believe in the power of laughter and connection.
