LMHC, 10 years of experience
Sharing your story takes tremendous courage—and I consider it a true privilege to be invited into that space with you. I believe people are layered and complex, shaped by their past, navigating their present, and carrying expectations for their future. Life’s transitions, whether joyful or painful, can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck—and therapy is a place to slow down, reflect, and discover new ways forward. My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect for who you are as a person. I believe that with the right support, every individual has the capacity to create meaningful change, find relief, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I bring professionalism and ethics to my work, but also warmth, humor, and genuine humanity. What makes my practice unique is the people I serve. I specialize in working with men navigating stress or identity, adults exploring ADHD and neurodivergence, students and professionals facing burnout, creatives and athletes managing performance pressure, and those grieving losses—including the deep bonds we form with pets. I also work closely with teachers, parents, and individuals moving through transitions, from young adulthood to midlife shifts.
In our first session, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where you can begin sharing what brought you to therapy. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, exploring your story, and identifying what matters most to you right now. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, challenges, and goals, but there’s no pressure—you can share at your own pace. Together, we’ll start outlining what you hope to gain from therapy and how I can best support you. By the end of our first meeting, you’ll have a clearer sense of what our work together will look like and how we can begin moving toward the changes you want.
What clients often say stands out about me is the balance of professionalism and real humanity I bring into sessions. I combine warmth, humor, and genuine care with practical strategies that fit each person’s unique needs. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—our work is collaborative, flexible, and focused on your goals. Whether you’re facing stress, overthinking, ADHD, grief, or major transitions, I create a space where you feel understood and supported while also being challenged to grow. My greatest strength is helping people feel both safe and empowered to make lasting, meaningful changes in their lives.
My ideal clients are people navigating transitions, pressures, and roles that often leave them feeling unseen, overextended, or stuck. Many are students and professionals balancing high expectations with self-doubt, or teachers and medical trainees facing burnout and identity challenges. I work with men seeking a safe, judgment-free space to process stress, relationships, and identity, and with adults exploring ADHD or overthinking who want strategies that fit their unique brains. I also support creatives and athletes managing performance pressure, and individuals experiencing grief and loss—including the profound bonds we share with pets. What they share is a desire to feel understood, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. They want clarity in relationships, balance in daily life, and confidence in who they are becoming. Together, we create space for growth, relief, and building a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.
I use a practical, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we’ll look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck—like overthinking, negative self-talk, or avoidance—and practice strategies to shift them. This often includes simple tools and exercises you can use between sessions, so progress continues outside of therapy. My goal is to make this work feel approachable and tailored to your needs, giving you both insight into why challenges show up and concrete steps to move forward with more clarity and confidence.
