If you want to think differently so you can feel and live differently, I can help! Many of the emotional difficulties we face—anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck—are closely tied to the way we interpret events and the beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world. Therapy can help you update those patterns so you can respond to life with greater clarity, flexibility, and confidence.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on real change. Drawing from the evidence based, Internal Locus of Control modalities, we work together to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, explore alternative perspectives and develop more effective ways of approaching life’s challenges.
While we acknowledge the past and how it shaped you, our work is focused primarily on the present—developing new perspectives and strategies that support the future you want to build. If you're looking for therapy that is thoughtful, active, and focused on meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you

I work especially well with analytical, thoughtful people—often in fields like engineering, finance, consulting, and tech—who spend a lot of time in their heads. Treatment focuses on developing a clearer, more effective mental framework that builds perspective and internal resilience. I also specialize in helping men navigate challenges around sex, intimacy, and relationships.
