My work is built on a simple belief that you are not broken and in need of fixing, you are capable and worth calling forward. Before I ever sat in the therapist's chair, I was an athlete, and consecutive injuries that ended the path I had planned taught me early how much our mindset shapes the way we meet what life hands us. That experience is what pulled me into this work, and it still shapes how I show up with the people I serve.
In session I lead with curiosity before answers, because I want to understand how you see your situation before I offer anything, and I bring a strengths-based approach that keeps us moving in the direction of who you want to become. My background spans clinical mental health and palliative care, where I have learned a great deal about meaning, resilience, and what it looks like to live with intention even in hard seasons. I also work with athletes and high performers on the mental side of their craft
Your first session is less about identifying what is wrong and more about understanding how you see what you are carrying, because I believe the work starts with truly grasping your perspective before I offer anything. Expect a warm, honest space where you set the pace and nothing about you is treated as broken. We will talk through what brought you in, what you are hoping to move toward, and what a good outcome would actually look like for you. By the end, you can expect to leave with a clearer sense of direction and a feel for whether we are the right fit, because that connection matters as much as any plan we make.
