Great to meet you!

My experience in the mental health field is wide-ranging, but it began with seeing my own therapist and learning to accept myself as I am. I know that starting therapy is not without risk, but I also know that you have a right to flourish.

I work well with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, panic, burnout, self-doubt, and PTSD. I also love working with adolescent boys and young men, LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent adults, and grad student/early-career therapists.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I approach each client with humility, curiosity, respect, and humor--I'm most interested in creating a nurturing environment that allows you trust your innate wisdom. I welcome all of your humanness (laughter, tears, messiness, apprehension, and swears) as we discover what is most true to you and dispose of the stories about yourself that no longer serve you.

I commonly draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, and DBT in my work.

What you can expect from our first session

My greatest hopes for our work together are that you trust yourself more, feel greater personal empowerment, discharge unhelpful stories about yourself, and move closer to who and what is most important to you.
