I am a seasoned therapist with more than 9 years of experience helping people live their authentic lives through honesty, humor, value, and a good plan. I believe in a direct, no-nonsense approach. I use an integrated approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I am passionate about helping clients identify opportunities for growth, recognize points of hope, and create realistic plans for meaningful change. I have experience working with teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families. I support clients navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, chronic illness, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can expect a welcoming, respectful, and collaborative environment where they can share their experiences at their own pace. My goal is for clients to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful, with a clearer understanding of the path forward. Throughout the therapeutic process, I focus on hope, building self-awareness, and creating realistic action plans that support lasting success. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals feel empowered, understood, and supported with the tools needed to move forward. My goal is for clients to leave the first session with hope, a clearer understanding of their goals, and confidence that meaningful change is possible. Throughout the therapeutic process, I focus on building self-awareness and creating realistic action plans that support lasting success.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is grounded in honesty, humor, compassion, and practical problem-solving. I believe every individual has unique strengths and the potential for growth. I work alongside my clients to identify opportunities for growth, shift unhelpful perspectives, and create realistic strategies to overcome obstacles. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals feel empowered, understood, and supported. I enjoy helping individuals discover new ways of approaching life’s challenges by finding creative, nontraditional solutions that align with their values and goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with high-acuity, complex cases and individuals navigating severe, chronic mental health challenges—such as schizophrenia, bipolar spectrum disorders, complex personality disorders, paranoia, and chronic suicidality—as well as families facing multi-layered crisis dynamics. I also work exceptionally well with individuals managing anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. My practice is uniquely designed for clients who feel they haven't found success in traditional therapeutic settings and are ready for a creative, fresh perspective on their care. I thrive and do my best work when I can be entirely direct, clear, and transparent with my clients, offering innovative, tailored approaches for individuals and family systems that standard treatments often fail to reach.
