My practice is largely geared toward supporting children, adult individuals, couples and families in navigating difficulties and transitions (relationship dynamics, grief, stress, anxiety, and disconnection) as well as those seeking a deeper connection with themselves or others. I have a special interest in supporting male identified folks, elementary through high school age students, adults and emerging adults, as well as relationships of two or more people. I also specialize in supporting caregivers of children of any age and those who are new to the therapy experience.
I offer a warm, inviting, consistent space to focus on whatever it is that is bringing you to therapy. I do this in part by supporting you to name and reflect on your experiences/relationships and consider how they are working for you; and where you can feel more agency within or around them. These conversations are guided by YOUR hopes, values, and dreams.
If you think this approach might help you, or you are just wondering what this might look like in your specific case, please consider giving me a call so that we can discuss what you are looking for and if we might be a good fit to work together.

I have experience supporting people in navigating a wide range of challenges/opportunities. Our initial sessions will likely be geared toward coming to an agreement on what we are identifying as the "problem(s)" and what tools/supports might be available to us. From there, we can determine what support looks like for you and what your expectations/hopes are from therapy.

I have a special affinity for psychodynamic, narrative, and relational interventions and concepts - all of which are meant to help increase your sense of agency in your life. What is most important to me, however, is that we identify the language and supports that most benefit you. Rather than trying to fit you into a preconceived box let's work to determine what the best fit is for you.
