I have a deep respect for the unique richness of each individual's journey. Getting an individual's unique journey to work for them rather than against them is one way of describing the therapy process. Sometimes we humans become stuck—with the past, with our thoughts, with our feelings, with our relationships, with our perceptions, and our belief structures. Our therapy sessions will help to navigate the process of becoming unstuck and make meaning of your unique human journey.
My practice is in line with psychiatrist William Glasser (founder of reality therapy and choice theory), who described the role of therapist well when he stated, "I am an MD and I can prescribe drugs for mental disorders, but mental disorders are extremely rare. People don't come to counselors with mental disorders but with problems in living. Those problems are normal and our clients deserve to be treated as normal. They need help solving those problems, not diagnoses." I believe these "problems" in living are actually opportunities for growth.
