We say that we are tired so often it becomes a mantra. But underneath that fatigue is often a sense of uncertainty—about who you are, where you’re going, or why life feels like such a mountain to climb.
I work with adults who feel like they are drifting through their own lives. My focus is on supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergent individuals who are wrestling with depression, anxiety, or trauma. Together, we tackle the "stuck points" in your career and personal life that keep you from feeling whole.

Ready to try something different? I'm not like other therapists. I am a follower of No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) (YES, that is a real therapy!), which was developed to engage people who are cynical, suspicious, or unsure of what to expect from counseling and therefore reluctant to seek counseling. Looking to connect in a world filled with stress, relationship issues, anxiety and worry? If you are in a place in your life where you are ready to make some needed changes, want to reduce your alcohol or substance use or just stop, I can help you become a better version of who you are.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, asking for help can be one of the most important steps you take. You don't have to figure everything out alone.
I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process. Rather than telling you how you "should" live your life, I work alongside you to better understand your experiences, identify what's getting in your way, and help you move toward the life you want to build.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
