(he/him)
I’m a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping clients build skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most to them. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where change feels possible and sustainable. I work to understand people''s experiences and how those experiences impact people.
I understand that initial sessions can be stressful. In an initial session, I will work to get to know and understand the client. I like to introduce what therapy looks like and understand how therapy can be effective. I like to set treatment goals on what therapy will work towards in our initial session.
One of the greatest strengths I have as a therapist is building genuine connections with clients. I worked on building trust in order to best support clients through their journey.
I am suited to work with clients who value a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship. Many of the clients I help are navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, or changes in identity or direction and want a space to feel understood while working toward growth. I aim to support clients who are open to curiosity, honesty, and gradual change
