Bob Ross, the famous landscape painter, used to say, “there are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” He felt that if you didn’t like the way a painting was turning out, to get curious about it, and receive the trial as an opportunity for growth as a painter. Likewise, I believe that each life is a canvas, filled with contradictory brush strokes from without and from within. Every one of us is tasked with molding those strokes into the beautiful story arc of our choosing. For some of us, the tension displayed on our unique canvas is too overwhelming to resolve on our own. That’s where I come in.
In therapy we will explore your circumstances as opportunities for creative collaboration. And I am not the expert on what you have experienced. But I am a safe and willing co-conspirator. We can discover the beauty on the canvas together.
My previous training was in music, specifically church music, so I am well versed in navigating church spaces as both an insider and an outsider. I also have extensive training working with couples as well as a level one certification in Brainspotting. I also have a passion for working with ADHD and ASD clients.
