Great to meet you!

Choosing to seek support, whether for yourself or for a relationship that matters to you, can feel like a significant step. You may be arriving in a season of joy, difficulty, or something harder to name. However you’ve arrived, I’m glad you’re here.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work, and I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment or pretense.

I work collaboratively, with curiosity about your experiences, relationships, patterns, strengths, and the broader context of your life. For individuals, this may include exploring how relational experiences influence the ways you relate to partners, family, friends, God, and yourself. With couples, we may work toward greater connection while also working through recurring patterns, complex dynamics, or breaches of trust.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and to understand what brings you to therapy. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem, clear goals, or even the words for what you’re experiencing.

I’ll invite you to share what feels important and ask questions to better understand you, your experiences, and the context of your life. We can begin identifying what you hope might be different through therapy while allowing that understanding to develop over time.
