What It’s Like to Work with Me
The foundation of my approach revolves around building a supportive, genuine relationship with you, as this is the ground upon which all of our work will be built. I believe that, as human beings, we all struggle at times—but that by telling our story to an engaged, empathetic listener, we can begin to make a little more sense of things, and gradually feel more empowered to make big decisions and lasting changes in our lives.
I offer a warm and integrative style of therapy, uniquely tailored to each client, but grounded in person-centered, psychodynamic, and existential-humanistic therapy. I see my role not as an ‘expert’ but rather as that of a curious, experienced, supportive fellow traveler. When appropriate, I’ll also use bibliotherapy and/or cinematherapy to supplement our work together.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a writer, editor, musician, movie geek, voracious reader, basketball lover, husband, and parent. I bring that same curiosity, energy, and creative lens (along with a healthy dose of humor) to my work as a therapist because I believe that therapy works best when it feels human — grounded, relational, and authentic.
Experience
I’ve been a practicing therapist since 2005, treating individuals, couples, and families. I began my professional career at Friends of Youth, where I provided child, individual, and family therapy. After several years at FOY, I accepted a position with Wellspring Counseling, where I worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in Bellevue, WA for many years.
In 2018, I went into private practice and started New Page Therapy PLLC, where I currently see clients both in-person at my office in Kirkland, WA and via telehealth throughout Washington state.
Currently, I see individual adults (18+) and couples.
My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.
