I'm a solution-focused therapist who helps clients identify practical, meaningful ways to move forward while creating space to better understandthe patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My style is direct, collaborative, and authentic, and I believe that growth happens through honest conversationspaired with actionable strategies. I also value humor when it's helpful, recognizing that it can make difficult work feel more approachable and human.
My approach integrates Brief Dynamic Therapywith mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients increase self-awareness, build effective coping skills, and createlasting change. I have experience working with individuals navigating substance use and recovery, as well as co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Whether you're facing life transitions, feelingoverwhelmed, or working toward lasting recovery, I strive to provide a supportive environment where you feel understood, challenged, and empowered to reach your goals.
During our first session, we'll review important paperwork, informed consent, and practice policies so you have a clear understanding of the therapy process. We'll also spend time getting to know what brings you to therapy, identifying realistic and meaningful goals, and discussing your expectations for treatment. I'll explain my collaborative, solution-focused approach and how we'll work together using evidence-based strategies to help you make progress toward the changes you're seeking.
