I work with high-achieving professionals and individuals navigating complex personal, legal, or organizational stress. Many of my clients carry significant responsibility and are seeking focused, practical support to manage burnout, anxiety, conflict, or major life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing court involvement or high-conflict situations who want structured, accountability-oriented therapy. My background includes forensic and correctional mental health, which informs a grounded, real-world approach to treatment.
I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and skills from DBT to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, improve decision-making, and build sustainable coping strategies. Our work is purposeful, measurable, and aligned with the realities of your professional and personal responsibilities.
My style is collaborative, direct, and respectful. Therapy is not about labeling—it is about building clarity, stability, and resilience under pressure. There is no "reset button" for the past, but we can make changes for the future.
