With over 24 years of experience, I bring a deep commitment to helping individuals, children, couples, and families understand, heal, and grow. You’ll be working with someone who emphasizes building on your existing strengths—believing the capacity for healthy change is already within you—and provides a safe, supportive environment tailored to your needs. From talk, art, and play therapy modalities to working with complex issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, family conflict, and domestic abuse, my goal is to guide you toward greater clarity, healthier relationships, and a more satisfying life.

An ideal client would be someone who is committed to making changes, needs support and is looking to grow as an individual and/or as a couple. I work with client's to create small, achievable goals as we begin our work together. Therapy can provide you the the weekly space and time to focus on your needs without judgement. This can be valuable in this age of distraction. I also have a niche interest in getting more men to attend and benefit from therapy.

There is a Buddhist parable that talks about the two arrows that wound humanity in life, one of which is inevitable and one that is not. The first arrow is the arrow of physical and emotional pain, unavoidable experiences in life. The second arrow is the arrow of suffering. Suffering is how we feel towards our physical and emotional pain. Each of us has the ability to avoid shooting this second arrow of suffering. This is possible through changing our relationship with our pain. As your therapist, I am interested in accompanying you on the exploration of your inner world. Our work together will include ->

Change is possible, even when it feels elusive. It may not be the kind of change we imagined, and the path may be slower or more winding than we hoped. However, change happens as we discover new freedoms. In therapy, I work collaboratively with you to cultivate curiosity and patience for the slow, tender work of change. Flourishing isn’t the absence of pain, but the freedom to choose how we live in the midst of it. Together we'll explore how past and present relationships shape your emotional world. We'll work to understand your stuck points, reconnect with your emotions, and chart a path toward a more meaningful life.

I teach practical and research based tools that help manage anxiety and depression. Therapy helps manage current levels of distress as well as underlying unresolved pain from the past. I encourage the process of developing an authentic and integrated relationship to one's self and others. At the same time, I often give direct advice. I have provided psychotherapy for over 23-years and believe it works! I am aware that most people seek therapy after having had many attempts to address their symptoms alone and remained confused. I want to join you in the journey of healing and growth.

I work with individuals who feel stuck while navigating how to live a more authentic life. You may feel held back by anxiety, depression, trauma, or the way your neurodivergence is perceived by the world. You may feel constrained by the expectations of others, weighed down by your past, or unsure how to align your actions with your values. I provide a collaborative space where you can explore these feelings and separate your own narrative from outside noise, ultimately empowering you to live a more purposeful life. I trust that you have the inner wisdom to create the life you want.
