When we're faced with problems, our natural instinct is to solve them using the tools we have. Most of the time, that works. But sometimes, this very instinct—the drive to fix, control, or push through—can quietly backfire. In our efforts to “think positive,” “be happy,” or “stop worrying,” what we’re really chasing is a sense of control. And the more tightly we grip that control, the more elusive it becomes. Over time, this struggle can leave us feeling defeated, isolated, and stuck in a life that feels increasingly small and pointless. My approach makes space for your past and your experiences, rather than trying to fight them.
My style is warm, relational, and thoughtful, with room for laughter and vulnerability. I’ll ask meaningful questions, empathize deeply, and gently challenge patterns that may no longer serve you. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but our work is guided by your unique story, values, and a shared focus on healing and meaningful change.
I’d be honored to hear your story and support you as you navigate your path in this often chaotic world we share. If you feel that my approach might be a good fit for what you're going through, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. It’s a chance for us to connect and learn more about each other; I’m happy to answer any questions you might have.

Although I've been licensed since 2018, I've been practicing therapy since 2013. I've focused my additional training since graduate school on ACT, psychdelic assisted therapy, mindfulness, and ADHD. Looking back on it all, I hope I have as much growth in the next decade of my practice as my first.

I work especially well with people navigating identity, anxiety, and lack of purpose, often with layers shaped by family dynamics or perfectionism. I also specialize in supporting new dads as they adjust to the challenges of parenthood. Whether you're processing past trauma, burnout, or transitions you did or didn't ask for, my role is to help you get unstuck and feel grounded in yourself again.

Through my practice and my personal work, I've found that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has been the most effective, compassionate, and holistic therapeutic style. The key therapeutic aspect of ACT is how it helps people develop perspective. Sometimes it's approaching uncomfortable situations in new ways or other times it's learning how to move on from the past and live in the here and now.
