I’m a graduate of the University of Southern California (USC). My approach is direct, caring, and solution focused. I help adults dealing with anxiety and overthinking, depression, ADHD, and relationship stress, including men’s issues around confidence and assertiveness. We get clear on what is keeping you stuck, choose a focused plan, and use practical tools between sessions so progress shows up in real life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I will assess your needs and get a clear picture of your life and situation. We will talk about what brought you in, what you want to feel better about, and what you want to improve first. I will ask questions to uncover what has been keeping the problem going and what has helped, even a little. You do not need to have the right words or a perfect plan before you start. By the end of the session, we will identify one or two priorities and a clear next step so you leave with direction.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my work is that sessions stay focused. I ask direct questions, help you get to the core pattern faster, and keep us working toward a clear outcome, like avoidance, people pleasing, procrastination, or repeating conflict cycles. When it fits, we practice boundaries, assertive communication, and the specific conversations you keep avoiding, so you are not trying to figure it out alone between sessions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients want therapy to feel practical, structured, and honest. They are tired of overthinking, repeating the same patterns, or knowing what to do but not doing it. They are willing to try small changes between sessions and want a therapist who is supportive and direct, helps them stay accountable, and focuses on real changes they can apply outside of session.
Experiential Therapy
I check in with you throughout our session so you can notice what you are feeling in real time and make sense of it as it is happening. We use that emotional information to guide the work, so you feel more grounded, more clear, and more able to respond differently outside of therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Shifting emotion often involves shifting your perspective. I will help you spot the thought patterns that pull you into the same moods and reactions, then practice new ways of thinking and responding until it becomes a habit you can use in daily life.
Psychodynamic
We build insight into patterns that repeat in your life and relationships and what keeps them running. When you can see the pattern clearly, you can catch it earlier, understand your reactions with more accuracy, and choose a different response.
