Great to meet you!

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

My approach to therapy

My approach is direct, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I believe in getting to the heart of the issue creating lasting change. Using CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused CBT, I help clients learn practical tools to manage emotions, improve relationships, and recover from the effects of trauma and chronic stress.

What you can expect from me

I typically utilize Trauma Focused-CBT in my practice. In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy. Then find the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With TF-CBT we will explore how trauma affects your thoughts feelings and behaviors. In treatment I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
