sunbreak: "when rays of light burst through the clouds in the pacific northwest"


​You know that feeling?
​It's an overcast Seattle day and suddenly a few rays of sunshine come through the cracks in the clouds.
It's a reminder that there is warmth and hope trying to burn through.
​A reminder that change is coming. A reminder that the clouds will pass.
​I believe that's what counseling can feel like.
As a therapist, the first thing I want you to know is that you are not the problem. Your partner is not the problem. People aren't problems. Sometimes people have problems that are getting in the way of the relationship and life you want. Infidelity, lack of intimacy, unhelpful communication, misunderstandings, anxiety, depression, grief: these are all things that can create problems. I truly believe that problems don't have to last and that things can get better. ​

Stories have always been an important part of my life. As a broadcaster and later as an educator and therapist I have always been in awe of how powerful stories can be. The stories we tell about ourselves, the stories we tell about others, and the stories others tell about us -- all of these shape how we see the world and our place in it. When the stories we are living aren't working anymore that's when counseling can help. As a therapist, my job is to work with you to challenge those unhelpful stories that are clouding up your life and rewrite them so the sun can break through.
