(he/him)
I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate life's most challenging moments — from anxiety and depression to relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented and psychodynamic at its core, meaning we explore not just what you're feeling, but why — and how your past may be shaping your present. I draw on IFS, AEDP, CBT, and EMDR to help you move beyond insight into real, felt emotional change. I work with adult individual adult men and women along with those in the LGBTQ community.
I emphasize a "relaxed, conversational" feel rather than a "clinical interview." In our first session, you can expect a warm, relaxed, collaborative environment where we will begin exploring what is bringing you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current challenges, your goals, and any background you feel comfortable sharing. There is no pressure to tell your entire story at once—we will go at your pace. By the end of our first hour, my aim is for you to feel heard, supported, and to have a beginning "map" of how we will work together toward your goals.
My therapeutic style is relaxed, supportive, and conversational. At times we will work actively and collaboratively; at other times all you might need is an objective ear to listen. Because I am trained in depth-oriented therapies, my aim is to help you delve into the underlying causes of your emotional, mental, and physical symptoms. I am committed to helping you find the relief you are seeking.
I work best with those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many of the people I work with are navigating life transitions, complex trauma, identity questions, or persistent patterns that no longer serve them. I hope that our work together can offer a grounded, compassionate space for exploration, insight, and change.
Other specialties
I identify as
Psychodynamic
Your present struggles rarely exist in isolation — they are often rooted in earlier experiences and unconscious patterns that quietly shape how you feel, relate, and move through the world. Through a psychodynamic lens, we slow down and explore those deeper layers, bringing new understanding and freedom to the patterns that have kept you stuck.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
Real change doesn't just come from understanding your patterns — it comes from feeling the shift. Drawing on experiential and AEDP-informed approaches, I help you work with emotions as they arise in the moment, moving you from intellectual insight to genuine emotional transformation.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
We all have different "parts" — the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the part that shuts down under pressure. As an IFS Level 1 trained therapist, I help you get curious about these parts rather than fighting them, fostering greater self-compassion and inner harmony.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Life can pull us into unhelpful thought loops that fuel anxiety, low mood, and self-defeating behavior. Using CBT, I help you recognize these patterns as they show up in your daily life and give you practical, real-world tools to shift them — so you can respond to life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
EMDR
Some experiences leave a mark that talk therapy alone can't reach. EMDR helps "unstick" traumatic or painful memories that continue to affect you today — reducing their emotional charge so the past no longer hijacks your present. It's a gentle, structured process that can lead to profound and lasting relief.
