My ideal client is navigating a tough transition—maybe a change in relationships, school, or health—and feels anxious, lost, or unsure of what’s next. They’re ready to understand their emotions, face patterns that hold them back, and build healthier ways to cope and move forward.

Many of the men, boys and individuals I work with are used to pushing through. handling stress or trauma quietly and showing up for others no matter what. Over time, that can start to take a toll. Anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming, frustrating, or even unfamiliar. I specialize in helping people understand what they’re experiencing and develop practical tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you're dealing with constant stress, low mood, emotional numbness, or past experiences that still feel present, therapy can be a space where you don’t have to perform.

I've always been drawn to helping others, and becoming a therapist has been my goal since I was twelve. There's something powerful about experiencing a space where you can be completely honest about your struggles and work toward meaningful change. My approach is straightforward and collaborative—I'm not here to tell you what to do, but to help you find your own answers. I believe that everyone has good in them. One of the joys of being a therapist is helping bring that out in people as clients discover new sides to themselves that enrich their lives.
