Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in subsequent sessions. My style is collaborative and I believe in having the client, to the extent they are comfortable, set the pace of exploration and discovery in therapy. I may nudge and challenge when appropriate and I strive to do this as we partner to work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have experience in a number of settings, including walking alongside seniors, adults, and adolescents in hospital settings as a chaplain, working as a therapist with children and teens at school sites, and counseling adults and couples through my private practice. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a lawyer and a nonprofit CEO. Working in these fields was often stressful and I greatly benefitted from having a therapist who helped me to better understand myself and how to navigate the challenges daily life can present. I hope that my experiences adds a helpful perspective that enhances how I work with people in therapy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I played baseball during my youth and in my college years. I could never hit the curveball and it frustrated me to the utmost. Hitting the curveball has been a metaphor for me in experiencing with joy the challenging experiences we often encounter throughout our life journey. I welcome the opportunity to work with people who seek to explore and embrace with curiosity the sometimes perplexing mysteries of our lives.
