I work with adults and teens navigating addictions, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, sexual issues, life transitions, difficult personalities, and old traumas — and anything else in between. I work with people who want evidence-based care and are open to exploring beyond it — those who value a holistic, body-mind perspective. And those who have specific changes in mind, interested in collaboration and experimentation to find what will be most effective in causing and sustaining those changes.
My style is eclectic, which allows me to customize my approach to each individual. I draw from solution-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic approaches, motivational interviewing, and Ericksonian techniques. Some conditions benefit from ongoing support. Other issues can be cleared up in just a session or two.
If you've been sitting with something for a while, wondering whether it's worth reaching out — it is. If this sounds like you, I'd be pleased to connect for a brief call. We can talk about what you've been through, what has or hasn't worked, and decide together if we're a good match. No pressure.

My focus is on anxiety, trauma, and the stuck patterns that don't respond to standard approaches. I work well with people who've been in therapy before and want something that goes deeper or works differently.
