I specialize in working with young men, as well as adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, life transitions, and family dynamics. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. At Foundational Roots, we focus on understanding the patterns that shape your experiences and building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in connection. I use a systems and trauma-informed lens to understand the bigger picture of your experiences—while offering honest feedback and meaningful support. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported, while also being gently challenged toward lasting growth.
If you’re here, you’ve already taken an important first step. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—I strive to make the process approachable and supportive from the start. I invite you to reach out for a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
