Therapy with me is active and transformative—you’ll leave each session with concrete ways to create change, individually and in your relationships, from day one. I challenge you directly, but with warmth and respect. I’m deeply invested in helping you develop genuine excitement for self-discovery and growth. Our work is rooted in real connection, clarifying your truths while honoring the grief of outgrowing old patterns. Starting therapy reflects intelligence, courage, and readiness for change.
I work from an existential lens, meaning what unfolds in the room holds the richest information and potential for change. By exploring anxiety or depression as experiences rather than identities, we create space to loosen their grip and deepen your understanding of yourself. From there, real clarity and change can emerge.
I specialize in a growth-oriented model of psychotherapy for high-functioning individuals, including Exercise Psychotherapy. Psychological growth is like building muscle—it requires effort and moments of discomfort. When we work it intentionally, you develop greater strength, resilience, and expanded capacity for life.

I draw from psychology, science, and experiential disciplines to understand how you move through the world. Our work is collaborative and practical—often like applied philosophy—testing new ways of thinking and living. I also use EMDR to process trauma and reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences.
