This is a space where you don’t have to mask, perform, or edit yourself — feel free to swear. I specialize in ADHD (ADHD-CSSP certified) and LGBTQ+ concerns, and I also work with professionals and other clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is practical, down-to-earth, and human—you can expect real conversation, lots of questions, clear strategies, and gentle but honest pushback when it helps.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—your story, your background, and the challenges you’re facing. We’ll also start exploring your goals, what’s working and what’s not, and begin shaping a plan that’s practical, personalized, and helpful in your daily life. I aim to keep things informal yet structured, so you can be yourself and leave the session feeling clearer and more supported.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring genuine curiosity to our work—not just about your life, but about how your everyday experiences connect to psychology, mindfulness, identity, and culture. I pair that curiosity with down-to-earth guidance, helping you make sense of things, build skills you can actually use, and leave sessions feeling more confident and ready for life. Together, we’ll explore research-backed tools like Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, keeping our work curious, real, and grounded in what actually helps you.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who want to focus on the here and now—practical steps and insights you can actually use—while also making sense of the past when it helps. You’re curious, open to trying new strategies, and ready to take action toward feeling more balanced, confident, and capable in your daily life. If you want therapy that’s down-to-earth, collaborative, and geared toward real-life results, we’ll probably work really well together.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I strive to create a welcoming, positive space where clients can be their authentic selves without fear of judgment. I approach therapy with humor, curiosity, and genuine care, trusting that each person already has the inner resources to grow and change. My focus is on truly understanding each client’s experience from their own perspective, offering empathy and support as they explore their path forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients identify and challenge (research-backed) unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns and how these influence emotions and actions. Then, we explore practical tools and coping strategies to create lasting change. It’s goal-oriented, and focused on real-world skills and insight.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their feelings about change in a safe, supportive way. Through open questions, reflection, and encouragement, I help clients find their own reasons and motivation for moving forward. It’s a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that honors their autonomy and builds change from within.
Gottman method
These researchers have studied ways to help couples build stronger, more loving connections. I work with clients to explore reserach-backed ways to explore communicating more clearly, handling conflicts in healthier ways, and deepening intimacy. The goal is to reduce misunderstandings, argue more productively, and nurture lasting, fulfilling relationships.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This approach helps clients stay present and approach their thoughts and feelings with kindness. Together, we work on reducing automatic reactions, cultivating self-compassion, and finding calmer, more effective ways to handle stress and life’s challenges.

I wasn't in a terrible place when I started with Evan, but I wasn't in a great one either. I was able to move to a better headspace through our sessions and I have some solutions that will work for me well moving forward with my mental health journey.

Evan is a great therapist, he really takes the time to get to know you and shares very interesting material for you to deepen into what is going on with you.
