As a therapist…

I tend to resonate with Humanistic Therapy.

I think therapy should be approachable and collaborative. I don’t think “good” therapy needs to be complicated. That’s just me, though. Not all therapy is, or should be, the same.

I think therapy is meant for a lifetime; not necessarily that we see a therapist for a lifetime, but that we participate in this process for as long as we’re alive.

I also don’t think everyone needs therapy. The journey we take and the relationships we make can look all sorts of ways. Therapy just happens to be one of them.

(For more info, I’m also listed here and here.)

As a client…

You mostly just get to show up. Sort of.

The hard work will find you eventually. Trust me. That’s a part of “surrendering to the process” (I know, I know…) and reframing what it means to heal and grow.

You otherwise might be:

• a fellow people-helper (e.g. therapist, clergy, healthcare provider),
• interested in “men’s issues,”
• curious about regulating sexual behaviors (I am OCSB-informed),
• wondering how sexuality and faith are supposed to work together,
• navigating multiple and competing identities,
• experiencing anxiety and / or depression,
• and, finally, fed up with dating.
