You’re already stronger than you think you are.

Maybe you have been searching the internet, trying to figure out ways to deal with your particular burdens - but it just hasn’t seemed to be enough.  Maybe you’ve been to therapy before, and while it helped, you want to go deeper.  Or you are wondering if a neurodivergent-aware therapist might be able to give you more clarity or specific skills to work on.  

I believe everyone has the right to a judgment free zone, and the freedom to be exactly where they are on their Life’s Journey.  That means when you walk into my office (or my online clinic) you will be greeted with warmth and openness. I work with a variety of methods (CBT, ACT, Family Systems, interpersonal), tailoring my approach to your needs.  

Our first conversation will include some typing on my part, as I listen and ask questions about your story, and what has led you to be sitting in my office.  

The discussion is always driven by your needs and wants - so we focus where you want us to.  

And if you don’t know what you want - you’re confused - but know you want something different, then we just explore figuring out what you need and want together.  

We talk about where you are, and what about it makes it not what you need and want.  

In future sessions we’ll explore what might help you take steps in the direction you want to go, even if that’s just figuring out where that might be.  We explore things that might be in your way, and how to find your way around, over, under or through those obstacles.  This can range from the beliefs you have about yourself, others, or the world, to traumas from your past, to actual roadblocks you are encountering in your relationships, your school or work,  or the world around you.  

Regardless,  you are in the driver’s seat.  If something isn’t working about the approach I guide us to, tell me.  If the conversation is moving too fast or slow, if you don’t know what’s off, but you just know something is - we stop, take stock, perhaps just sit together quietly for a moment, until we find a better approach.  Sometimes the quiet is exactly what you need.  We are partners on this journey.
