I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen. As a therapist, I hold space for the messy, tender, and complex parts of being human—including those that are often excluded or misunderstood. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deepening commitment to inclusivity. Whoever you are, however you show up—I welcome you.
I offer a safe and grounded space to explore what matters to you. Drawing on depth psychotherapy, somatic work, and adult development, I support men and others in moving through pain, making sense of their story, and reconnecting with themselves.
Whatever brings you here, I want you to know you are not alone. It takes courage to reach out. I will meet you with care and honesty, and I invite you to take the next step when you feel ready.

I draw on process-oriented psychology, which sees symptoms and struggles as meaningful. Your experience may include somatic work, trauma-informed therapy, inner parts, and adult development. It's a collaborative process where we explore what matters to you. You can expect a grounded, respectful space where growth unfolds at your pace.
