Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

I know how exhausting it feels when life becomes too much to bear. You wake up each day feeling the weight of your past, the constant anxiety, the grief, the trauma, and sometimes wonder, “Is this it? Will I ever feel okay again?” Whether you’re carrying the heavy burden of PTSD, you’re a First Responder who’s seen too much, or you’re battling anger, addiction, perfectionism, or struggling in your relationships—it’s overwhelming. Some days, you might even question if your presence here matters at all. But I want you to know this: it absolutely does, and you don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to help.
