I work with clients who are ready to do the real work of change. Whether you’re leading at a high level, rebuilding after rupture, confronting identity shifts, or pushing past performance plateaus—I offer depth, direction, and a place to get honest. If you’re willing to lean into discomfort, I’ll help you forge what comes next. Let's get started!
Grounded in a humanistic, Gestalt-style approach, I focus on the here-and-now—but I adapt based on what works. Some clients need insight, others need challenge. My job is to read the room, meet the moment, and use the framework that moves you forward.
Therapy with me isn’t passive or performative. I bring humor, candor, and a focus on what actually moves the needle. If you’re done dancing around the hard stuff and ready for a space that’s real, direct, and transformative—let’s get to work.

I often begin with The Four Agreements as a shared foundation for building clarity, trust, and personal accountability. From there, therapy becomes a dynamic process - equal parts dialogue and disruption - designed to challenge assumptions, deepen self-awareness, and move you toward intentional change.
