(he/him)
I’m a therapist who works from a compassionate and integrative approach, recognizing that each person’s experiences, identities, and healing process are unique. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling understood, not judged, and I strive to create a supportive and emotionally safe space where clients can show up as they are. In our work together, we may explore emotions, relationships, and recurring patterns that influence how you see yourself and connect with others. At the same time, I support clients in building practical tools and coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen resilience, and move toward greater balance, clarity, and self-trust in their lives.
The first session is a space for us to begin getting to know one another. We’ll focus on understanding what led you to seek therapy, what you’re currently experiencing, and what you hope therapy can support you with. Much of this session involves gathering information so I can have a clearer picture of your needs and be more intentional in our future work together. There’s no expectation to share everything at once; we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This initial meeting helps lay the groundwork for a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic process.
What stands out about my work is my ability to balance emotional depth with practical support. I help clients feel seen and understood while also offering guidance that supports real-life change. My integrative approach allows me to adjust therapy based on each client’s needs, pace, and readiness, creating a process that feels supportive, intentional, and grounded.
I tend to work best with people who are curious about themselves and open to growth. You don’t need to have everything figured out—but it helps if you’re willing to look inward, be honest with yourself, and challenge patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Many of the clients I connect with want to go beyond just “feeling better” and are interested in actually understanding themselves on a deeper level. That can look like unpacking past experiences, making sense of emotional patterns, or learning how to respond differently instead of reacting on autopilot. I work with a wide range of people—men who want to learn how to better understand and communicate their emotions, women navigating life transitions or relationship patterns, and individuals who are exploring identity, whether that’s around sexuality, gender, or simply figuring out who they are and what they want. Therapy with me is a space to explore what hasn’t been fully processed—whether that’s anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, or parts of yourself that haven’t had the chance to be understood yet. If you’re someone who is open, reflective, and willing to do the work—even when it feels uncomfortable—we’ll likely be a good fit.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic approach, which means I draw from a few different therapy styles rather than just one. Some sessions may focus more on insight and understanding where things come from, while others might focus on coping skills, emotional regulation, or changing unhelpful thought patterns. My goal is to meet you where you are and adjust the work based on what’s coming up for you in the moment.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
At times, I also use a solution-focused approach. That means we spend some time identifying what’s already working for you and what small changes might help you feel more grounded or supported in your day-to-day life. We don’t ignore the hard stuff, but we also don’t stay stuck only in the problem. Sometimes focusing on strengths and small steps can help restore a sense of control and hope.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Sometimes we’ll focus on how your thoughts shape your emotions and the choices you make. This isn’t about forcing yourself to think differently; it’s about noticing patterns that may be keeping you stuck and gently experimenting with new ways of responding.
Psychodynamic
Sometimes we’ll slow down and look at emotional patterns that feel familiar or repetitive. This isn’t about blaming the past; it’s about understanding how your experiences shaped the way you learned to protect yourself, connect, or cope. As we build awareness together, those patterns often begin to loosen.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
At times, we may work with different ‘parts’ of you — the sides of you that show up in different situations. For example, one part of you might want closeness, while another part feels scared and pulls away. Instead of trying to get rid of these parts, we work to understand them with compassion and help them feel safer. This often reduces internal conflict and creates more balance.
