I am accepting new clients! Life has a way of shifting beneath our feet. Whether you’re navigating anxiety that feels hard to manage, the persistent weight of depression, or overwhelming changes in work, relationships, or identity, you don’t have to sort through it alone. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, make sense of your emotional experience, and build practical strategies for relief. Together, we’ll work toward renewed clarity, steadier mood, and a stronger connection to the parts of life that matter most to you.
I also specialize in helping individuals recover from Religious Trauma. Using an evidence-based approach, I work with those deconstructing their faith, healing from spiritual abuse, or navigating life after leaving fundamentalist communities.
Building a trusting and empathetic relationship with my clients is at the heart of my practice. I understand that reaching out for support can be daunting, but I am here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. I'll be with you every step of the way.

Most of my clients prefer to pay out of pocket in order to avoid diagnosis on their medical record. For those folks, I offer a sliding scale. If you wish to use insurance, the rate is 200/session, with the majority of those only paying 20-40 out of pocket for their copay.

My practice focuses primarily on helping clients (especially men) navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma related to harmful religious teachings. I want to help you find a version of you that feels authentic to who are today and who you want to be moving forward.

Since clients come to therapy with a variety of needs, I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I use a multi-faceted approach to tailor a client's sessions to their unique situation. Even in an individual session, we may use components of CBT, ACT, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Existential, Psycho-dynamic, Somatic and many others to address the client's needs.
