If you were to sit down in a movie theater and watch a movie about your life, would you stay or leave? If you don’t like the plot, what would you change? My goal is to help my clients lead a fulfilling, self-directed life of which they would want to watch the entire movie.

I have always believed that therapy is about the relationship between the client and the therapist. For an effective relationship, I think it’s important to take the hierarchy out of the room and replace it with simple human interaction. As I listen to your story, I’ll highlight the narrative and point out where we can reinforce helpful parts and reframe unhelpful ones.
Allowing me to hear your story and come along on your journey gives me the opportunity to ask questions that might not have occurred to you. These questions might change your perspective, or they might confirm that you are making the best choices for you and you should keep going. I use humor as a tool to break down defense mechanisms, make sessions more memorable, ask tough questions, help my clients regulate, and sometimes just to bring joy to a situation where it may be hard to find. Let’s see where the conversation takes us!
