I work with young adults, adults, and couples to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and insight. My focus includes depression, anxiety, stress, communication, sex and sexuality, and LGBTQIA+ topics. I meet clients where they are and help them discover where they want to go, exploring the “rabbit holes” along the way. Like a GPS, therapy requires knowing our starting point to chart a meaningful path forward—one that fosters growth, self-awareness, and lasting change.
I take a direct yet empathetic approach, helping clients recognize strengths, challenges, and patterns to support their mental well-being. Our work is guided by key questions: Who are you? and Reality Therapy’s framework What do you want? What are you doing? How is it working? What needs to change?
Our work may bring discomfort before relief, which is natural when unpacking the past and confronting outdated habits and defenses. This process creates space for healing and shifts from merely surviving to truly living. Ultimately, you determine the direction, while I provide guidance and support throughout the journey.

I utilize a Reality Therapy approach to assess what you seek and identify how to get there best. The basic concept is stating what you want, what you are currently doing, learning if that is helping move you toward or away from your goal, and changing or reinforcing your current actions.
