Starting therapy can feel intimidating.

Especially when you are worried that your thoughts or feelings might be too much to share. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be honest about what you are experiencing and feel accepted for who you are.

Clients come to me struggling with anger, anxiety, substance use, compulsive behaviors, or patterns that are quietly wearing down their relationships. I also enjoy working with men who learned to handle difficult emotions on their own and are ready for a different way forward.

Together, we slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and build practical strategies that fit your goals and your life.

My approach.

Warm, collaborative, and relational. I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, while tailoring the work to what you actually need. Whether we are working on communication, rebuilding connection, managing difficult emotions, or changing patterns that no longer serve you, meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself.
