(he/him)
Welcome! Your well-being is my priority. I’m dedicated to creating a warm, supportive space where you feel truly heard and respected, while gently challenging you to explore new perspectives that foster meaningful growth. I integrate multiple modalities with psychodynamic talk therapy, doing my best to taylor therapy to you. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, I’m here to guide you.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you here. You’re encouraged to ask questions, share your background, and discuss any concerns or symptoms. Together, we’ll review informed consent and office policies so you feel comfortable moving forward. Unlike a typical therapy session, this initial meeting sets the foundation for our work together.
Many peers describe me as a caring person who listens deeply. I’m intellectually minded and enjoy challenging conventional thinking. In therapy, we’ll look at challenges from multiple perspectives to truly understand what’s going on. My aim is to honor the full complexity of your experience—not reduce you to symptoms. I welcome your questions and value open dialogue, often sharing my thoughts to keep you involved in the process. I think clients have the right to be involved in the process and are not, and should not be passive participants. I am very open-minded and can connect with people from varied backgrounds, and will adapt how I show up to what I think is most helpful to you.
I am passionate about partnering with clients who are thoughtful, self-reflective, and attuned to their emotions. While I welcome working with adults of all ages, I am especially drawn to supporting individuals in their 20s and 30s as they navigate significant life transitions. As a neurodivergent therapist, I provide an affirming and supportive environment for individuals with ADHD and dyslexia.
Eclectic
My therapeutic orientation is fundamentally eclectic and client-centered, grounded in the conviction that psychological healing is an inherently individualized process. Our collaborative work is intentionally attuned to your unique goals, lived experiences, and worldview. Rather than adhering rigidly to a singular modality, I integrate diverse, evidence-based frameworks to develop an approach that is both empirically sound and personally resonant. Within the therapeutic space, I strive to cultivate a dynamic equilibrium between reflective insight and pragmatic action. We may examine the ways in which formative experiences inform present-day patterns, while simultaneously developing practical skills for managing stress, enhancing relational functioning, and fostering resilience. My practice synthesizes elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, psychodynamic theory, and solution-focused strategies, adapting responsively as your needs and circumstances evolve. My objective is to provide a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment in which you are encouraged to gain insight, cultivate agency, and pursue lasting, meaningful change. Together, we will co-create a therapeutic process that honors your individuality and assists you in progressing toward your aspirations.
