Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer a different approach to therapy that is less abstract and more focused on creating serious changes in the way our minds function. Issues regarding family conflict, sexuality, gender, anger, trauma, and religious or existential questions are my specialty.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with curious people, who are wanting to make substantial changes in their lives.
