Great to meet you!

Hi my name Larry. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire if they are willing to embrace values of self-compassion, honesty, self-determination and self-appreciation. I have eight years of experience in the mental health support field and work with teens, young adults, and adults. I show up as someone who steps into your world, not the other way around. In our sessions, you won't need a filter. There's no judgment, no apology required, just a real and welcoming space where all of you belongs. I use language that actually makes sense to you, so growth feels authentic and sustainable, not forced or fake. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire when they're willing to embrace self-compassion, honesty, and self-determination.The life you desire is only a choice away.

My approach to therapy

I believe change is only possible by building a strong therapeutic alliance. In doing so, there has to be moments where we can challenge each other. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused therapies, tailoring my approach to your unique needs, preferences, and learning style. My work is personal, practical, and real. I help clients face that inner voice with compassion and curiosity instead of judgment so you can reconnect with who you truly are at your core, not who you think you "should" be. I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to provide different options to viewing ourself or the experiences we have in order to create the life we really want.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, expect to be met exactly where you are. We'll begin getting to know each other, your story, what's brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. My goal is simply for you to leave feeling heard, seen, and a little clearer on what's possible. You'll start to get a sense of what our work together looks like: honest, grounded, and centered on helping you become the most authentic, most free version of yourself.
