Welcome! I feel honored to work with children, teens, and young adults who are going through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I specialize in therapy for suicidality and self-injury. People engage in self-injury and experience suicidality for a variety of reasons, but some of the commonalities tend to be dislike of yourself, feeling isolated, and feeling that your psychological pain is unbearable and unsolvable. I work with clients to find ways to feel hope again, start to like themselves, and find alternative ways to cope.

My approach is welcoming to men/boys and skeptics who have an aversion to therapy with humor.

I take a mindful approach to my practice and place significant emphasis on the relationship we build.
