Therapy style

I will never tell you what to do, but I will ask you where you want to be. Therapy is a journey, and if we work together, please know how honored I am to go on this journey with you. I have an eclectic background, and I have found my best work to be in the realm of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the existential, but have over 30 years of experience working with many different modalities. What does it mean to find our purpose in life? How can we make sense of the absurd world we live in? What are you afraid of and why? Let's talk about that together.
