Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling work pressures, relationship stress, family expectations, and your own internal battles. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety or OCD that won’t let up, depression that drains your motivation, or anger and frustration that spill into the relationships you care about most. Maybe you’re questioning your sense of self, feeling burned out, or leaning on alcohol or substances to take the edge off. These are the challenges that many of the men and women (18yrs+) that I work with face. I am passionate about supporting men who are ready to break free from these cycles and step into a healthier, more balanced version of themselves. I also provide couples support for relationship challenges including communication challenges as well as experience with LGBTQ, and open relationship challenges.

My approach to therapy

I’m a therapist who believes in meeting you exactly where you are, with no judgment, no labels, and no pressure to be anything but human. I strive to create a space where you don’t have to have all the answers — just a willingness to show up. I’ll meet you with honesty, empathy, and practical strategies that fit your unique life. I utilize DBT/TF-CBT, ACT modalities through a solution focused and trauma informed lens.

What you can expect from me

We’ll work on shifting unhelpful thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and developing concrete skills you can use in everyday situations — whether that’s navigating family dynamics, managing anger, rebuilding self-esteem, or reducing reliance on substances. Together, we will build you a life that feels strong, steady, and aligned with who you want to be.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
