Most therapists study the mind. I spent two decades studying what it means to be human. As a philosophy professor and licensed therapist with 19 years of experience, I bring something most clinicians cannot: a deep, disciplined curiosity about how people make meaning, find identity, and rebuild when life breaks apart.

I have spent my career walking alongside students and clients from all walks of life, helping them face anxiety, depression, grief, self-worth struggles, and the seasons of life that knock you sideways. I bring the same energy to every session that I brought to every classroom: warmth, a little humor, and a genuine belief that you are more capable than you currently feel. For those who want it, I am honored to weave faith and spiritual values into our work together.

My approach is grounded in Humanistic Therapy, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, but the philosophy professor in me never leaves the room. I am endlessly curious about your story, your values, and what actually matters to you. We will not just manage symptoms; we will get to the root. My style is direct, energetic, and occasionally funny, because healing does not have to feel heavy all the time.

A real conversation, not an intake checklist. I want to know who you are, what brought you here, and what you are hoping feels different on the other side. You will leave with a clearer sense of what we are building together and, hopefully, the feeling that you found the right room.
