(he/him)
I am an empathic listener who engages all clients in a caring way. I help individuals identify their problems, create a plan to address those problems, and work with them so that they make progress. I utilize many modalities with my favored modalities being attachment theory and solution focused therapy to best assist my clients. I have vast experience in the field and have worked in a numerous settings such as working with children and teenagers and in family crisis situations. I have also worked as a child custody mediator for the family court for years. I have experience assisting families in reunifying and create long term plans to better their family.
We will get to know each other to determine if my style is a good fit for you. Your comfort is important and you have a right to determine if I am the right therapist for you. However, if you find that we are a match I will involve you in the process of creating goals for yourself to move in the direction you want your life to go.
I have patience, I am a good listener, I am easy going, and I care about the individuals I work with.
I truly enjoy working best with individual adults. I work especially well with clients who are motivated for change, open to self-reflection, and wanting practical tools to improve emotional functioning, relationships, confidence, anxiety, depression, or life stress. My style is direct, supportive, and collaborative. I value authenticity and work to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, challenged, and emotionally safe while pursuing meaningful personal growth.

Attachment-based
I believe our ealy life relationships with caregivers are paramount in the development of our social and romantic relationships. In therapy we will explore how to better understand your attachment style so that your habits and your communication style can be adapted to people and environments.
Compassion Focused
I come from of place of understanding and compassion- I am here to support you through life's journey and at times life's struggles.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I will work on helping you come up with coping strategies that support you in reducing your mental health symptoms. Through CBT we can learn many skills together and I hope to help you find what works best for you.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Not all clients need to take a deep dive into the past, at times we need to focus on the issues at hand and work towards resolving those issues so that you are a more stable functioning person in your day to day life.
