Ever wonder why we do the weird stuff we do? I’ve spent the last 20 years obsessed with that exact question. I didn't get into therapy just to nod politely; I got into it because I’m fascinated by the "why" and even more passionate about the "how do we fix it?"

Whether we’re tackling heavy hitters like trauma, abuse, or domestic violence, or navigating the complexities of sexual behavior problems and substance abuse, I’m here to give it to you straight. I work with youth and adults who are ready to trade in their "old patterns" for actual solutions. Think of me as a seasoned guide through life’s messiest chapters—with a side of humor to keep us sane while we do the work. Ready to stop wondering why and start moving forward? Let's get to it.

In grad school, they taught me the CBT basics, but 20 years in the trenches have turned my approach into something much more practical. Think of it as a mix of Solution-Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a healthy dose of "let’s actually get things done."

You’re the world-leading expert on you, so I’ll let you educate me on your perspective while I provide the tools, the roadmap, and—yes—the occasional homework assignment. My style is 100% client-driven, meaning we focus on what you need right now to see real change. We won’t just sit in a room and analyze your childhood until the cows come home; we’re going to find the "why," apply the "how," and get you moving toward your goals.

In our first session, consider me a sponge and you the fountain of knowledge. Since I wasn’t there for the first few decades of your life, I’m going to ask plenty of questions and let you educate me on what it’s actually like to be you.

I’ll also pull back the curtain on the "therapy magic" by giving you the lowdown on how this process actually works—no mystery, no clinical jargon, just straight talk. We’ll spend the hour getting to the heart of the matter and making sure we're a good match. By the time we’re done, you’ll have a clear understanding of the roadmap ahead and, hopefully, the realization that therapy doesn't have to be a drag. Ready to start the masterclass on you?
