Nobody comes to therapy because they need someone to tell them to “think positive.” They come because they’re tired. Tired of anxiety calling the shots. Tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. Tired of carrying things they were never meant to carry alone. Life is complicated enough. Understanding yourself shouldn’t be. My job is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools you can actually use long after our sessions end. No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. We focus on what you need most that day while never losing sight of where you’re trying to go. Some days we’ll process. Some days I’ll challenge you. Some days we’ll laugh because life has a weird sense of humor. Every session has one goal: helping you move forward. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s engaged, honest, down-to-earth, and willing to have real conversations, I think you’ll feel right at home here.
Let’s be honest…starting therapy can feel awkward. Most people walk into their first session wondering if they’re going to have to spill their entire life story in the first hour. The answer is no. Our first session is really about getting to know each other. I’ll want to hear what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been dealing with, and what you’re hoping will be different. If you know exactly where to start, great. If your answer is, “Honestly…I don’t even know where to begin,” that’s completely okay too. We can work with that. Think of the first session as a conversation, not an interrogation. I’ll ask questions, you’ll have a chance to ask me questions, and together we’ll start figuring out what’s been keeping you stuck. By the end of the session, my hope is that you’ll feel heard, have a better understanding of where we can go from here, and know whether I’m the right therapist for you. Finding the right fit matters, and I want you to feel comfortable deciding that too.
I don’t think people need another therapist who nods for 60 minutes and asks, “How does that make you feel?” Life is messy, relationships are complicated, and our brains can convince us of some pretty wild things. My job is to help you sort through the noise, make sense of what’s happening, and help you see things from a perspective you may have never considered. One of the things I hear most from clients is, “I’ve never thought about it that way before.” Those are my favorite moments. I love connecting dots, asking the questions everyone else avoids, and helping people understand themselves without making therapy feel like a psychology lecture. One quote I come back to often is, “You can’t change the past, but you can change your relationship to it.” That idea is woven into the way I work. We can’t rewrite what happened, but we can change the way it continues to affect your life today. I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or awkward to be effective. Some sessions are heavy. Some are full of lightbulb moments. Sometimes we laugh because, honestly, life can be ridiculous. Through it all, you’ll get a therapist who’s genuine, engaged, and not afraid to be honest with you. My goal isn’t to tell you how to live your life. It’s to help you understand yourself well enough that you can build the life you actually want. Most importantly, this is a place where you don’t have to edit yourself or have it all together. You don’t have to worry about saying the “right” thing. If you cuss like a sailor, that’s okay…I’ll probably join you. I want you to show up exactly as you are, because that’s where real therapy begins. Therapy is about being real, not being polished.
You’re probably the person everyone else leans on. You’re the problem solver, the helper, the one who keeps everything moving, even when you’re running on fumes. From the outside, you may look like you’ve got it all together. On the inside, you’re exhausted. Maybe anxiety won’t let your brain slow down. Maybe trauma still sneaks into your relationships in ways you don’t fully understand. Maybe you’ve spent so long surviving that you’re not even sure what thriving would look like anymore. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work best with people who are curious about themselves and ready to do more than just vent. You don’t have to have all the answers, but you do need a willingness to be honest, look at the hard stuff, and try something different. We’ll celebrate your progress, laugh when life gets weird, and work through the messy parts together. If you’re looking for quick fixes or someone to simply tell you what you want to hear, I’m probably not the best fit. But if you’re ready to better understand yourself, break patterns that no longer serve you, and build a life that feels more authentic, I’d love to help you get there.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT naturally finds its way into many of my sessions because our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected. Rather than handing you worksheets or using a one-size-fits-all formula, I weave these concepts into our conversations in a way that feels natural. Together, we’ll slow things down, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways to respond differently so you’re not just surviving on autopilot anymore.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Life can feel overwhelming when emotions are running the show. I naturally incorporate DBT skills into sessions to help clients manage intense emotions, navigate stressful situations, strengthen relationships, and respond instead of simply react. We focus on building practical skills that fit your everyday life, so you’re better equipped to handle challenges long after the session ends.
Motivational Interviewing
Change isn’t always as simple as deciding to do something differently. Part of you may be ready to move forward, while another part feels scared, uncertain, or stuck. I use Motivational Interviewing to help you explore those mixed feelings without pressure or judgment. Rather than telling you what you should do, we’ll work together to uncover what truly matters to you and build motivation that comes from within.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe the best therapy starts with a genuine connection. Before real change can happen, people need to feel heard, understood, and accepted for who they are. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to pretend you’ve got everything figured out. We’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you while having honest conversations that encourage growth without judgment.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma can shape the way we think, feel, respond to stress, and connect with others, often without us realizing it. I approach therapy with the understanding that many of the behaviors people struggle with today once served a purpose. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with you?” we’ll explore, “What happened, and how has it shaped you?” Healing isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about understanding its impact, building new ways to cope, and remembering that “You can’t change the past, but you can change your relationship to it.”
