I’m a psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience helping people move beyond symptom management into a more grounded and integrated way of being. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and ADHD. I bring together depth-oriented psychotherapy with applied neuroscience in a practical, down-to-earth way. This approach supports meaningful, lasting change by addressing both the nervous system and the deeper patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My goal isn’t simply to help clients feel better - it’s to help them become better at feeling, more present, and more fully alive.
Healing is a process of revealing, not fixing. When asked how Michelangelo sculpted David, he said he didn’t sculpt David; he chipped away what wasn’t David until David appeared. In the same way, therapy isn’t about creating a new you - it’s about uncovering the Self that’s already there, waiting to live with more freedom, presence, and capacity for life.
Sometimes we reach a point where old ways stop working and the next step feels unclear. If you’re in that place, I understand it well. Reach out for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and see if this feels like the right fit. The right fit matters; therapy works best when it feels safe, genuine, and attuned.

I integrate applied neuroscience with depth-oriented psychotherapy to create the right conditions for transformation. By supporting both brain and psyche, therapy becomes a process of revealing rather than fixing—helping people feel more regulated, connected, and alive, with greater freedom and capacity for life.
