Great to meet you!

If you’re feeling stressed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I bring over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and work with men and adolescents navigating stress, mood changes, relationship challenges, school or work difficulties, addiction, and major life transitions. My goal is to make therapy feel straightforward, respectful, and human, while being someone consistently in your corner through both challenges and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical, collaborative, and skills-based. I use evidence-based tools like CBT to help clients better understand patterns, manage stress, and make real-life changes that are sustainable. I also believe therapy should move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, with a focus on safety, trust, and respect. I work to support clients in building clarity, emotional regulation, and healthier ways of responding to life’s stressors, without pressure or judgment.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a welcoming space where you can show up as you are. We’ll talk through what brought you in, what’s been feeling difficult, and what you’d like to be different. You don’t need to have everything figured out. My role is to help you organize your thoughts and begin creating direction. We’ll also start identifying goals and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you so you leave the session with clarity and a sense of what the next steps in therapy will look like.
