My approach is solution-oriented and direct, but always collaborative. I'm not here to just listen and nod. I'm here to work with you toward change. I believe in naming things clearly, asking the hard questions, and building a plan you can actually use. As I tell my clients: if you're not changing it, you're choosing it. My job is to help you make that choice consciously, and to help you get where you're trying to go.

I specialize in anger management and mood regulation, problem-solving, depression, trauma and anxiety. I work well with clients who want a therapist who will challenge them as much as support them. Someone who brings structure and honesty to the room, without losing sight of compassion.

If you're ready to start building the version of yourself you actually want to be, I'd be glad to help you get there.

My approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I believe you already have capabilities and resilience worth building on, and therapy works best when it's collaborative rather than something done to you. I draw from Motivational Interviewing to help you work through ambivalence about change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build practical tools for managing thoughts, mood, and behavior, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to keep sessions focused on where you want to go rather than getting stuck in what's wrong. I'm direct and solution-oriented in how I work, but the goal is always growth on your terms. I'll challenge you when it's useful and support you the rest of the way.

You can expect a therapist who is compassionate enough to listen, collaborative enough to work alongside you, and direct enough to help you move forward when you're ready. I'll ask thoughtful questions, challenge patterns that may no longer serve you, and help you recognize strengths you may not yet see. Whether you're recovering from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating a major life transition, or coping with chronic health concerns, we'll create a practical plan that fits your goals while building resilience and confidence every step of the way. My hope is that you leave each session feeling clearer, stronger, and equipped with tools that continue supporting your wellbeing.
