I believe our life experiences connect together, built on common themes, just like a story. Stories have the power to influence what we think feel want and do. Influence how we experience ourselves and make sense of our lives. Those stories can be hurtful problems for us - make us feel like we don’t have needed skills, believe the worst things will happen, or not trust in relationships. Whatever theme the story is it can make us start to believe things about ourselves or the world. We draw lessons from it like a fable.
The cool thing is your story is not done. There are moments in your past of success, capability, energy that can highlight other ways to experience yourself. You have values to guide you in the next chapters that have not been written yet. You have hopes that deserve to be spoken into existence.
Areas of focus
I am excited to work with anyone that wants further their journey through therapy. Connection and trust are the most important factors in any therapy (even more so than any clinical approach or alma mater). So, reach out and see if you think we will be a good fit for the work you want to do. There are a few areas I feel my experience, interest and style have been helpful for.
- Caregivers of neurodivergent children
- Fathers or non-birthing parents
- Life transitions
Virtual Therapy
I am only offering services virtually at the current time. I apologize if that does not fit for what you are looking for. While I do miss the connection of in person sessions telehealth has benefits. You won’t have to plan in commuting to an office and sit in a waiting room. The easier logistics makes it possible to not have to cancel as often and easier to reschedule due to everything that happens in life outside of our control. Consistency is one of the most important aspects in therapy.
Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be.
