I help women dealing with insecurity rediscover who they are and what they want out of life. My clients struggle as you do. Even though they are extremely capable, nice to everyone, and look like they have their life together, they are hurting inside. When they first come in, they feel alone, worthless, and afraid of change. Their insecurities and need to be perfect are driving them into the ground. Many of them have been ignored or dismissed by other men. They’ve been told, “You’re overthinking things” or “Don’t worry about it” (SO helpful, right?). Like my clients, you deserve to feel secure in who you are.
As a therapist, I help my clients learn to let go of people-pleasing and start living from a place of authenticity. This process can involve working through past hurts, challenges of the present, and goals for your future. I help you identify your values and teach you ways to communicate boundaries with others. When it is a good fit, I offer EMDR therapy.
I have had multiple female clients say “You are the first man in my life who has listened to my story and actually understood and affirmed my experience.” I always feel so honored to enter into their stories, offering myself as a compassionate witness of their pain and a fierce champion of their healing. I would love the chance to do the same for you.

I specialize in helping women who want to work on their self-esteem and issues with perfectionism. In all my work, I view my clients from a strengths-based perspective. I don't see you as someone who is fundamentally broken or a thing to be fixed. I see you as a human being with giftings and skills who has endured hard things and needs some extra support.

In the first sessions, I offer clients space for them to share what brought them to therapy. Then, we move to discussing their goals for the future. Along the way, we identify the values that are important to you and how you can live a life that reflects these values. When it's appropriate, I also offer EMDR, an evidence-based approach that helps your brain reprocess harmful past experiences.
